This move might be a genius idea for this beloved Montana company.

Hotels in Montana

Hotels are massive business in Montana.

Hotels of all kinds are in cities and towns in Big Sky Country. Some are more luxurious than others, but most are a decent place to lay your head down for quality sleep.

Now that Airbnb's getting more expensive, folks are booking hotels when visiting Montana. This move has caused a spike in prices for nightly hotel stays, but people are paying for it.

More hotels are being built in or near tourist hot spots daily.

Places like Bozeman, Whitefish, and Big Sky are seeing a spike in hotel construction.

These gas stations and convenience stores are found everywhere in Montana. They have everything you could need. They have snacks, drinks, firewood, propane, and more.

These gas stations are close to major highways and roads to appeal to drivers who want a quick place to fuel up or grab a snack.

Town Pump will now dip its toes into the hotel industry, and its plan could be a bright future.

Town Pump To Build Hotels

Fast Company reports Town Pump will jump into the hotel industry in Montana to appeal to tourists who need a place to stay.

The plan is to start by building two hotels. One will be near Bozeman and the other in Belgrade.

Why? The proximity to Yellowstone and several ski resorts seems like the perfect area to open a hotel.

The plan is to open these hotels next to Town Pump gas stations so travelers can fill up at night or in the morning before they head out on their Montana adventures.

By building their new hotels next to their popular gas stations, they are a one-stop shop for tourists in Montana.

This plan is a fantastic move by Town Pump.

We could see them adding hotels across Montana in hot tourist areas like Whitefish, Polson, and Livingston.

Historic Wyoming Hotels

Wyoming's once wild west also incorporated a little luxury. Several fine hotels dotted the state, along trade routes and railroad lines. They have rich histories, and of course, ghost legends.
