2 Best Hotels in Cheyenne, Laramie, and Southern Wyoming, Wyoming

Background Illustration for Hotels

Because I–80 traverses this region, there are countless chain motels, but many other interesting accommodations are available. Southern Wyoming has a large number of independent lodging properties ranging from bed-and-breakfasts to lodges to historic hotels. Dude ranches are a unique lodging experience that let you sample a taste of wrangling life, and you can even stay in a remote mountain cabin in the heart of the national forest.

Saratoga Hot Springs Resort

$$$ | 601 E. Pic Pike Rd., Saratoga, WY, 82331, USA Fodor's Choice

With leather couches in the common areas, pole-frame beds, and Western art, this small-town inn is as nice as any place in Wyoming. Some rooms are in the main lodge, which has a double fireplace lounge that opens both to the central sitting room and the back porch; other rooms are in separate buildings surrounding a large expanse of lawn and a hot-mineral-water swimming pool. There are five outdoor hot tubs filled with mineral water, four of them covered with tepees, a 9-hole public golf course, and tennis courts. There are two restaurants, a brewery, and a beer garden on-site. The Snowy Mountain Pub ($$) serves burgers, pizza, and tacos alongside the spot's own beer. The Silver Saddle Restaurant ($$$) is geared toward groups, private events, and special holiday meals.

Pros

  • 70-foot mineral-water pool
  • Rentals available for outdoor adventure, including kayaks, paddleboards, and UTVs
  • On-site brewery and restaurant

Cons

  • Feels disconnected from downtown, a 10-minute walk away
  • Older property
  • Pets are not allowed in rooms (though kennels are available for dogs)
