About the Building
In March 1891, a crowd of 500 — jubilant, elegantly dressed — braved bitter cold to welcome its first world-class hotel. From the start, this building signaled Bozeman’s coming of age, adding urban polish to a still-rural Main Street. Hoping Bozeman would become the state capital in the 1892 statewide election, citizens raised $20,000 and a group of optimistic Boston investors contributed $100,000 to build the 136-room landmark, designed by architect George Hancock in a vernacular Romanesque style.
Arched windows, stained glass, and a five-story turreted bay rose over an unpaved street, while inside you’d find the height of 1890s innovation: steam heat, fire escapes, call bells, a formal dining room, an elevator, and a ladies’ parlor.
Bozeman didn’t win the bid for state capital, but the hotel has always reflected our start-up spirit. A major renovation in 1974 updated the interior; today, our renovations preserves the heart of the original building while adding world class amenities, clean lines and handsome detailing. Guests will feel the same sense of grandeur that greeted the crowd in 1891.
As stewards of the Bozeman Hotel, we’re committed to honoring this legacy while welcoming the next chapter—keeping the history alive and the craftsmanship cared for.
