18 Best Hotels Near Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park is one of the world’s most amazing natural landscapes. It’s got half the world’s geysers, boiling lakes of mud, some amazing coloured high altitude lakes, fossil forests, giant bears, bison and bighorn sheep, and it’s all sitting on top of a supervolcano! It’s obvious why people want to see Yellowstone for themselves. But it might be less obvious which accommodation in, or around, Yellowstone to opt for. There’s actually a fair bit of choice: from campsites to historic lodges or cabins, plus hotels or resorts! So our list of recommendations for the best places to stay near Yellowstone National Park, includes some fantastic family-friendly lodges, and some once-in-a-lifetime luxury picks alongside a spot of glamping. We hope there’s something for you!

For Park Views

The Old Faithful Inn is on the south side of Yellowstone, within sight, and striking distance of who know who. Built in 1904, this charming log chalet has had its public spaces glorified — the lobby is vast, with an enormous fireplace, and the dining room is seriously impressive — but its 327 rooms and suites have been upgraded and updated into smart, cosy and unfussy bases. Affordable too.

For a Yellowstone Adventure

The Mountain Sky Guest Ranch is a luxurious ranch — which sounds like a contradiction — set on 10,000 operational acres of unspoilt landscape within the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park. Accommodation is in rustic log cabins, complete with porches overlooking the dramatic landscape of the ranch and park. With 33 cabins in all there’s plenty of space to feel as if you’re escaping — but if you do fancy company and comfort head up to the Salon Bar or Mountain Sky Resort, both offering luxurious treats and a warm welcome. They’ll sort you out with yoga classes or a spa treatment, just as soon as they will fishing or horse riding.
Bar N Ranch is a remote lodge-hotel close to the west entrance of Yellowstone, with a main building with comfortable hotel rooms, plus a collection of eight surrounding private log cabins. The rustic cabins are a great choice for families, with fireplaces, huge wooden beams and pillars, wood everywhere, and paintings of moose. The restaurant in the main building serves hearty all-American classics, and there’s a cosy lounge with a huge, stone fireplace.

For The Great Outdoors

Henry's Fork Lodge is about an hour's drive away in neighbouring Targhee National Forest, and is a small, but rustically luxurious option, with just four rooms, two suites and eight cottages. Well known by fishermen, this lodge also has a cosy library stocked with books about fishing, and the local parks and wildlife, and a surprisingly fantastic restaurant — considering the remoteness. Service here is excellent generally. A perfect hideaway for canoeing, mountain biking, bird watching and trekking, as well as fishing.
The Dreamcatcher Tipi Hotel is a campsite of ten luxury tipis, just minutes from the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park. It may look simple, but this is an extremely spacious and comfortable pick, with fluffy bedding, cosy heaters, luxurious bath products and dream catchers for good measure. In the evening, with the fire pits and the smores going, and the sky a canopy of stars, you’ll be banking memories for years to come.

For Rustic Charms

Jenny Lake Lodge is another charmingly rustic wooden lodge with cosy, but luxurious accommodation, this time in Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone’s neighbour to the south. The lodge has 37 rooms and suites, arranged in a collection of huge bungalow-style buildings, all with wide verandahs and sweeping views. Some of the rooms have private terraces. There’s a heartiness to the decor, with lots of wood and open, stone fireplaces, and to the cuisine — expect five course menus and a well stocked bar.
The Rustic Inn, just outside Jackson Hole, is a collection of 150+ boutique cabins and rooms surrounded by 12 acres of lush gardens. Designed to be hip, but also relaxing, the Rustic Inn is known for its elaborate breakfasts and cosy cabins.

For Getting Back to Nature

Under Canvas Yellowstone is the perfect base for a ‘wild west’ era Yellowstone adventure — but with all the mod cons. You might have guessed from the name that there’s something a bit different about this accommodation: it’s a collection of 77 tipis and safari-style tents, laid out over a surprisingly smooth and grassy patch of wilderness. The furniture has an, unsurprisingly, rustic feel, but is largely by West Elm, and the bathrooms are very comfortable, with fancy organic products. There’s an elegant restaurant/cafe onsite too.

For Families

Yellowstone Cutthroat Guest Ranch is a collection of rustic cabins and lodges on the North Fork Shoshone River, just outside the park’s borders on its east side. The lodges are perfect for families, with cool wooden bunk beds and lots of space around to play and explore. While the cabins are smaller and more romantically decorated — all the accommodation features a lot of wood, with pine furniture, private porches, and cowboy themed fabrics. Some of the cottages sleep up to seven, and some have self-catering facilities, but there’s also a steakhouse restaurant and bar.
The Hotel Terra is a large hotel in Teton Village, at the bottom of the Teton Mountains. With the air of a ski hotel: think plenty of wood, a fantastic spa, and lots of terraces overlooking the mountains, this is a great hotel for families, because of the excellent range of facilities, and the varied room and suite sizes. Technically in Grand Teton National Park, which is one over from Yellowstone, this is a fantastically comfortable base for exploring the whole region.
The Wort is a Tudor revival inn in Jackson Hole, with a cosy, rustic chalet feel, and 59 large, comfortable rooms. Its Silver Dollar Bar and Grill are well known locally, and specialise in local game and produce. You’re right in the heart of the historic part of town, so if Jackson Hole itself is on your itinerary this is a great choice. It’s also a great pick for families — as long as you can handle lots of wood, mounted moose heads on the walls, and antler chandeliers.
The Adventure Inn is a small inn, with just five suites, just moments from the West Entrance of Yellowstone. The largest suite sleeps six, and has a kitchen, and some of the others can be interconnected. Interiors are a contemporary take on the traditional cabin, with wood panelled walls and plenty of natural materials. Great for groups too.

For Couples

Collective Yellowstone is one of three campsites on this list, but this is an even more luxurious version of glamping, with just ten tents making up the camp. Each of them features wooden floors, large raised beds with 1,500 thread count linen, wood burning stoves, antler chandeliers, and rainfall showers with luxurious, but eco-friendly, products. Outside are fire pits and a great dining table where fantastic meals are served — all surrounded by the greatest design of all.
The 1872 Inn is an adults only, wood-clad lodge with a rustic, cowboy feel, just moments from the West Entrance to Yellowstone. There are 18 rooms and suites, and the atmosphere is relaxed and intimate, with a cosy fire-lit lounge bar complete with rugs made of hide and leather furniture, for that extra outdoorsy vibe. There’s no restaurant, but they offer breakfast.

For Luxury

Amangani is a 40 room luxury hotel just outside Jackson, overlooking the valley of Jackson Hole. With incredible views from each room, plus fireplaces, private balconies, slate bathrooms and a minimalist-chalet vibe, this is an elegant choice. There are two pools — both have incredible views — a chic restaurant and bar, and a library. Perfect for a stylish skiing break, but also within a short drive of Yellowstone.

For an Active Holiday

The Rainbow Ranch Lodge is a contemporary take on traditional rustic lodge accommodation, updated with large windows and fireplaces that don’t make a mess. The 21 rooms and cabins still have plenty of pine, stone and leather, antler chandeliers, and porches or balconies. The restaurant serves classic Montana cuisine, and you can get up to all sorts of outdoorsy fun and games. You’re 45 minutes drive from Yellowstone, in a spectacular setting.

For Great Value

The Turpin Meadow Ranch is a collection of 14 wooden cabins and chalets, in a neat row overlooking a spectacular view on the Buffalo Fork River. Each wooden ‘home’ is furnished with homemade furniture, with a fireplace and surprise! an indulgent contemporary bathroom. They all have a private porch too, complete with a rocking chair, and the largest sleeps up to 14. There’s a restaurant specialising in local, farm-to-fork produce, and a cosy bar.
Just moments from the west entrance to Yellowstone, the Golden Stone Inn is a cosy, comfortable and functional 15 room inn. The rooms and suites are different sizes, though, with the largest triplex cabins sleeping up to six. And they all really make sense, with fireplaces and great storage — including racks for your fishing rod and hooks for your waders. There’s no restaurant, but they have a charming breakfast room, and some of the rooms have self-catering facilities.
