Little America Hotel & Resort

$$ | 2800 W. Lincolnway, Cheyenne, WY, 82009, USA Fodor's Choice
The guest rooms at this sprawling, 80-acre property are large and full of old-school elegance, with giant windows, carpet in rich colors, and plenty of space to sit; it doesn't feel hip and modern, but that's the fun of it and part of what keeps this a local icon. Most guest rooms are spread among several buildings clustered around the outdoor swimming pool, and some are attached to the common public areas via a glassed-in breezeway. Though close to Cheyenne, Little America offers so many amenities that you don't have to go into town if you don't want to, and both its restaurants serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Luxuriously decorated Hathaway's ($$$) has an upscale feel and a menu full of steaks, burgers, and pasta. For a more casual choice, grab a coffee and a bite at Carol's Cafe ($). There's also a nine-hole golf course, gift shop, and 30,000-square-foot conference center on-site.

Pros

  • Full of historic elegance
  • Many amenities, including restaurants and gift shop
  • Largest convention center in Wyoming

Cons

  • Golf course only has nine holes
  • Many rooms not connected to main complex
  • Outdoor pool only open seasonally

Best Western Plus Frontier Inn

$$ | 8101 Hutchins Dr., Cheyenne, WY, 82007, USA

Right off the interstate east of town, this reliable lodging option has all the amenities you'd hope for in a clean and modern hotel, including a pool, fitness center, and complimentary breakfast buffet. It's especially convenient for travelers passing through and or attending a convention or other large gathering at the Event Center at Archer facility, located just 3 miles away.

Pros

  • Good value
  • Close to the interstate and a large event center
  • Free shuttle to Frontier Days events

Cons

  • About 7 miles east of downtown
  • Not in walking distance to sights and restaurants
  • Like most local lodgings, fills up quickly for Frontier Days (with reservations made sometimes a year in advance)

The Historic Plains Hotel

$ | 1600 Central Ave., Cheyenne, WY, 82001, USA

With its stunning lobby, this downtown landmark was built to be the height of elegance in 1911 and still oozes historic character even though it's no longer a top choice for people seeking a modern, trendy atmosphere. In its day, the hotel hosted several presidents (and presidents to be); since then, it's been worn a bit by the years. See if you can get a tour of Room 444, where long ago a young bride named Rosie killed her new husband and the prostitute he'd just met, before turning the gun on herself (you can still see the bullet holes in the window). Legend has it, you can also sometimes still spot Rosie roaming the halls.

Pros

  • Great downtown location
  • Tons of Old West charm
  • Good value

Cons

  • Dedicated parking is two blocks away (though there is closer street parking)
  • Small elevators (so cowboys wouldn't bring their horses up)
  • Small bathrooms
