Lake Yellowstone Hotel and Cabins

The architectural design of the hotel was significantly changed in 1903 giving it the “Colonial Revival” style it is known for today.

This is the oldest hotel in Yellowstone National Park and first opened in 1891. The architectural design of the hotel was significantly changed in 1903 giving it the “Colonial Revival” style it is known for today. This three-story clapboard hotel sits at the heart of Yellowstone along the north edge of Lake Yellowstone. The facade which faces the lake is the most stunning with the columns, balconies and steps that lead up to the front entrance. Inside the hotel there is a large upscale dining area, a large lobby with a bar and beautiful lounge area with oversized tall windows to sit and admire the view. There is also a gift shop within the lobby. The staff members at this hotel greeted us with warm and friendly smiles and made sure our stay was memorable. Our room was warm and comfortable but was very small size including the bath. There is a large parking lot to the rear with several different entries. But most of all, this hotel is perfectly situated along the lake and at the heart of the park. The hotel prices are quite high when considering the overall room and services, but it is all about the location, and this is one of the best places to be.

No wifi! It’s not the hotel’s fault, as there’s no wifi coverage in most area near Yellowstone lake, and the cellular signal – if any at all – is very weak. They do have a wifi spot near the front next but it’s so weak that even loading text-only website takes a long time. Not to mention, you have to stand right next to door. Inside the room, the decorations, furniture, and amenities, are all very... No wifi!

Inside the room, the decorations, furniture, and amenities, are all very luxurious. It’s rustic but not worn out. In fact, it looks very nice and clean. The room is also very spacious. The breakfast was delicious. Too bad it was fully booked for dinner the night before. If you’re staying here, be sure to reserve dinner in advance. There’s a restaurant that just a few minutes’ drive away, so you can dine there if the hotel’s restaurant is full.

Loved this location in the center of Yellowstone. A grand hotel with gracious service. Rooms are lovely and main lobby is grand but welcoming. Comfortable seating areas with a piano to set a lovely relaxing mood. We had dinner here (make reservations) that was great. Nice choices and great service. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Views of the lake from the front porch were amazing.... Loved this location in the center of Yellowstone. A grand hotel with gracious service.

No air conditioning and no neat but the weather cooperated with our stay and we were very comfortable

Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at Lake Yellowstone Hotel last weekend. The historic hotel is very well maintained and managed. All staff were friendly, efficient, and professional. We really enjoyed lounging in the large sunroom/lobby area, including the nightly piano music (background, no singing).

We really enjoyed lounging in the large sunroom/lobby area, including the nightly piano music (background, no singing). Our one dinner in the dining room was really very good w perfectly cooked salmon over an interesting mix of veggies and beautifully presented. Service and drinks were excellent as well. Breakfast buffet was good. I really appreciated attention/options r/t gluten free. Our room was a pleasant queen room w nice spacious bathroom and comfy bed. Nice that windows can open for fresh air. We especially enjoyed observing the family of elk that hung around the hotel and strolling out along the quite large, beautiful lake.
