Restored Motels in the Rocky Mountains

Amigo Motor Lodge

Salida, CO

A 1950s motor court on Highway 50 in Salida, restored by a couple who dreamed it up on their first date. MICHELIN-selected, with individually designed rooms, a fleet of vintage Airstreams, a hot tub, and a cold local beer poured at check-in.

Chamberlin Inn

Cody, WY

Original push-button light switches, clawfoot bathtubs, and a courtyard garden with fire pits that have outlasted every attempt to replace them. The kind of property that gains character faster than it can spend it.

Horseshoe Bend Motel

Lovell, WY

A family rebuilt this roadside stop room by room, with custom woodwork inside and a raised vegetable garden, grills, and an evening firepit out back. An honest, well kept basecamp in the Bighorn Basin, minutes from Bighorn Canyon and within reach of Yellowstone.

Modern Hotel and Bar

Boise, ID

Teak furnishings, Nelson lamps, and soaking tubs fill the rooms of this re-animated 1960s Travelodge in Boise's Linen District, where the bar and restaurant draw a crowd well beyond the guest list. Complimentary breakfast and free parking come with the stay.

Silver Ridge Lodge

Salida, CO

A mid 1960s family run lodge kept impeccably clean and set back from the road at the foot of the Sawatch Range. Soak in the new saltwater hot tub after a day on the Arkansas River, then wake to a proper hot breakfast before heading back out.
