We are Iñupiaq owned & run

Top of the World Hotel is a subsidiary of the ASRC. The history of the people of Alaska’s North Slope reaches back 10,000 years. As a company owned and operated by Iñupiaq, ASRC relies on the teachings of the region’s ancestors and lives by the values passed on through countless generations.

This long and rich history serves as the foundation upon which we continue to build ASRC to benefit future generations.
