Visiting Yellowstone isn’t just a trip to the first national park in the United States. It’s an excursion that lets you try out whatever Western style speaks to you: cowboy culture at a dude ranch, luxury spa living, glamping under the stars, or a hotel stay that combines history with urban amenities. Finding lodging near Yellowstone isn’t difficult when you plan ahead, especially when you turn your gaze to the gateway communities that embrace the park. This is where next-level accommodation truly elevates your stay. Here are a few of our favorite lodging options for your Yellowstone getaway in 2023.
Lavish amenities keep it fun (like champagne on demand) and fresh bites from onsite Farmer’s Daughters Cafe infuse your stay at the RSVP Hotel with healthful living, all within easy driving distance of Yellowstone. The community of Bozeman offers everything you need, from concert venues to art galleries and boutique shopping. Then settle into the RSVP, with unique furnishings adding a dash of glamor and bold design bringing the wide world to your bedside.
Steamy soaking and a luxury stay between Gardiner and Livingston? Yes, please! Chico Hot Springs offers a remote resort ideal for unwinding in the Paradise Valley. The best part is, even if you choose to stay elsewhere, you can still pop in for a soak in the natural thermal waters on your way to or from the park.
Camping isn’t for everyone, which is why glamping unites luxury with the outdoors in a way even the most high-maintenance travelers can embrace. High-ceilinged tents keep out the elements at Under Canvas West Yellowstone, complete with furnishings from West Elm and private ensuite bathrooms.
Located between Bozeman and West Yellowstone, the community of Big Sky is best known for its winter sports, with one of the largest ski resorts in the country. Century-old Lone Mountain Ranch gives guests the working dude ranch experience, with comfortable accommodation in historic cabins. Head out for a trail ride, guided hike, park tour, snowshoe or dog sled ride, depending on the season, and experience the real Big Sky.
With historic charm and a cozy feel, A Stone’s Throw Bed and Breakfast lives up to its name in Livingston, just 55 miles from the Gardiner entrance of Yellowstone, and 25 miles from the bigger town of Bozeman. Hosts Mick and Donald take guests back to the heyday of bed-and-breakfast hospitality.
Up the adventure factor with a winter stay at the Mt Zimmer Yurt outside of Cooke City, hosted by Beartooth Powder. This is an experience for the adventurers. You don’t need to be an expert on the area to experience backcountry skiing from a yurt home base. They can shuttle your group to the yurt via snowmobile if you don’t have your own. And you can hire their expert guides to help you find the ultimate powder stashes and stay safe at the same time.
