The Old Faithful Inn, which is open from mid-May through mid-October, is a stunning example of old-fashioned comfort combined with modern amenities. The inn itself is log-built and one of the largest wooden structures in the world. The warmth of wood architecture and pine railings along the log stairs, combined with views of Old Faithful Geyser and no distractions from radio, television, or internet activity is in tune with Yellowstone's history, and it provides a truly rustic and relaxing atmosphere for your vacation.

One of the attractions of the historic Old Faithful Hotel is the history of the hotel itself. The Old Faithful Inn Yellowstone is more than a century old, and its ageless style is reflected in its architecture and décor. When you step inside the inn, you step back in time as you enter the lobby known as the Old House. Built in 1904, this building exudes comfort and warmth with its massive stone fireplace, hickory furniture, antiques, timbered columns, finely etched glass panels, and overhanging outdoor porches for viewing the geyser basin.

At the Old Faithful Hotel, guests can expect superior service as well as convenient amenities including an onsite ATM and fax machine. To ensure all guests receive proper customer service, multilingual staff members are available to help international travelers with anything they may need. The Old Faithful Inn also has handicapped-accessible common areas, rooms, and other amenities.
