Hotel Information

The hotels used on this tour have been selected on the basis of their suitability for our groups. They offer excellent service and a friendly atmosphere and are clean and comfortable, all rooms having private facilities
In Glacier, our accommodation is in two of the Park’s historic lodges, conveniently located for the walking and sightseeing programme and for local amenities. Accommodation inside the Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Park boundaries is limited and often central areas are crowded. We have therefore chosen hotels just outside the entrance to the parks, close to restaurants, galleries and other attractions.
