Armory Hotel Bozeman
Bozeman, Montana, United States · Kimpton · Core Luxury
The Armory Hotel occupies Bozeman's 1941 National Guard armory, an Art Deco landmark that anchored downtown Montana for nearly 80 years before a 2020 conversion made it Bozeman's first luxury boutique hotel. Travel + Leisure named it to its T+L 500 list of the world's best hotels, and the rooftop Sky Shed bar looks out over the same Gallatin Valley peaks that put Big Sky and Bridger Bowl within an hour's drive.

About Armory Hotel Bozeman
- Travel + Leisure named it to its T+L 500 list of the world's best hotels in 2024, the same year U.S. News & World Report ranked it Bozeman's #1 hotel.
- The building was designed in 1941 by Fred Fielding Willson, Bozeman's most prolific early-20th-century architect, to house the Montana National Guard.
- It's Bozeman's first and only luxury boutique hotel, with a rooftop bar (Sky Shed), a restaurant (Fielding's, named for the building's architect), and a live-music basement bar (Tune Up).
- It sits close enough to Bridger Bowl and Big Sky Resort to double as a ski basecamp, with Yellowstone National Park also within reach.
History
The Armory Hotel occupies the historic Bozeman Armory in downtown Bozeman, Montana, a building constructed around 1941 for the Montana National Guard. The Art Deco/Streamline Moderne structure was a longtime civic landmark before its conversion.
After an extensive redevelopment, the building reopened as the Armory Hotel under IHG's Kimpton brand in 2020, blending the armory's historic character with contemporary luxury. It became Bozeman's first and only luxury boutique hotel, and Travel + Leisure has since named it to its T+L 500 list of the world's best hotels.
