Cody, Wyoming, is the gateway to Yellowstone, but the town itself offers a surprising array of upscale lodging. From the historic Chamberlin Inn, where guests enjoy a garden, bar, and live music, to the Best Western Premier Ivy Inn & Suites with its spacious balconies and 24-hour front desk, these hotels blend modern comfort with Western character. The Cody Cowboy Village takes luxury outdoors with mountain views, a hot tub, and a pool with a view, while the Bill Cody Ranch provides family-friendly elegance, including a restaurant, bar, and indoor play area. Expect rates from $150 to $350 per night, depending on the season and room type.
For the best experience, stay downtown, where the Buffalo Bill Center of the West and Cody Dug Up Gun Museum are within walking distance. Alternatively, the Best Western Premier Ivy Inn & Suites offers easy access to the Buffalo Bill Dam Visitor Center. Most luxury hotels in Cody include free WiFi, parking, and breakfast, with some offering airport shuttles. If you're visiting in summer, book well in advance, as Yellowstone-bound travelers fill these properties quickly.
