The Best Lodging Outside the Park in Yellowstone National Park
In high season, park rooms are at a premium and sell out quickly. These fine alternatives, located in the park gateways.
- In Jackson, Wyoming: The Wort Hotel (tel. 307/733-2190) is a Jackson landmark with comfortable “New West”–style rooms and a town institution of a watering hole, the Silver Dollar Bar. The modern Hotel Jackson (tel. 307/733-2200) marries high design with comfortable Western touches.
- In Gardiner, Montana: Carefully designed rustic-meets-modern suites and plentiful amenities make the boutique-y Wonderland Lodge (tel. 406/224-2001) the best night’s sleep in town.
- In Cody, Wyoming: Centered on a serene and green courtyard, the new-and-improved Chamberlin Inn (tel. 307/587-0202) features charming, historic rooms and apartments with serious literary cred: Ernest Hemingway once stayed here (and you can sleep in his room).
