A one-of-a-kind design feature
The design returned the historic Map Room to its original purpose as a guest lounge. A bar provides social ambiance, while a massive wall map serves as the design focus. Comprised of 15 different woods from nine countries, and containing more than 2,500 pieces, the historic U.S. map was transported to the Western Archaeological and Conservation Center for restoration, then reinstated to retain its role as a signature design feature of the hotel.
A focus on visitor experience
The design shifted administrative offices to a new location, providing more space for visitor services, as well as weddings, parties, and other guest functions. Public conference spaces provide modern technology and ample gathering space, while a renovation is currently underway to transform the 1913 guest wing into a relaxing retreat with historic beauty.
Fortifying a Yellowstone classic
Built on an earthquake-prone site, the hotel required major structural upgrades to meet current building codes and seismic standards. Additionally, the renovation addressed a variety of electrical, mechanical, thermal, and safety deficiencies in a sensitive manner to preserve the hotel’s character-defining features.
