Bozeman's historic Main Street is a bustling center offering great restaurants, shopping, art galleries, breweries, and bars. The character and charm make it a must see in Bozeman. In the past, it has been difficult to find a place to stay within walking distance of the downtown area. In the past few years, the downtown lodging opportunities have improved. If you want to experience the great recreation around the area and stay right downtown, you are in luck. Here is an overview of the hotels in downtown Bozeman.
Kimpton Armory Hotel
Bozeman’s first and only 4-star hotel combines the rich history of the landmark Armory building with a contemporary and relaxed design. The hotel features several social places, including Fielding’s restaurant, two bars (one on the rooftop with exceptional views), a music hall, and a rooftop pool.
The Sapphire Motel
Opened in 1940 as the Glen Motel, the original format consisted of a 4-cabin “tourist court.” Two years later, the owners built a 31-unit motor court-style motel. They soon added 16 more rooms. After changing hands a couple of times, the motel has been in the same family since 1969. In 2021, it became The Sapphire Motel and was restored and revitalized. The Sapphire has a nice mix of rooms within walking distance to downtown, including family-style rooms that sleep six!
Lewis and Clark Motel
Another retro motor inn, the Lewis and Clark has an incredible indoor pool, hot tub, and eucalyptus steam room, perfect for relaxing on winter days. The rooms are updated, clean, and comfortable, and the lobby is a great gathering place. The hotel is located on Main Street, just a few blocks from downtown, and right next to the Community Food Co-Op, another local favorite.
