Historic Plains Hotel, Cheyenne Holidays
Since 1911, The Historic Plains Hotel has watched from its perch on Central Ave. as Cheyenne transformed from a windy outpost on Wyoming’s plains to a charming yet cosmopolitan town blessed with great museums, art galleries, restaurant, shopping, parks and more.
Originally built to host visiting celebrities, dignitaries, business titans and other luminaries, the hotel, among its many other luxuries, was the first to have a phone in every room. It was a place where the dust from the road was washed away in the hotel bar, cattle deals were sealed with a handshake over dinner and the city’s elite gathered for grand weddings and celebrations.
Cedar Pass Lodge
Cedar Pass Lodge first opened for business in 1928, predating the establishment of Badlands National Monument by eleven years.
