A century of welcoming strangers.

Proud to be formerly the Seaview Café, Bar, and RV Park. In choosing this new name, we honor Hope's past and the legacy of the Seaview while looking forward to our next phase offering exceptional “end-of-the-road” Alaskan hospitality.

The Seaview has watched Hope's population swell to thousands and shrink to dozens. It has fed gold prospectors, fishermen, hippies, bikers, ski bums and curious travelers off the Seward Highway. Built during the pre-Klondike gold rush boom of the 1890s, the Historic Hope Café is a preeminent landmark of the Downtown Historic Hope District. The building is older than the state of Alaska itself.

The café and campground are located 16 miles down the Hope Highway on the Kenai Peninsula (two hours south of Anchorage) and are situated amidst native ecosystems on the tidal flats of Cook Inlet's Turnagain Arm near the mouth of Resurrection Creek.

We're not trying to make it look like anything other than what it is. The floors slope. The walls are covered in a hundred years of license plates and photographs. The beer is cold, the coffee is strong, and the door is always open to anyone who's made the drive.
