Best Wedding Hotels in Montana

The Lodge at Whitefish Lake is all about location. This cozy hotel sits just a mile and a half north of Whitefish, Montana, 6 miles from the Whitefish Mountain ski resort, and 28 miles from Glacier National Park. When you're not out exploring, you can enjoy the views of Whitefish Lake from the hotel's seasonal outdoor pool or while enjoying a cup of joe at the Coffee Dock. You can also test the waters at the Lodge's private beach or aboard a rental boat. For a more relaxing stay, plan for a treatment at the on-site spa. Recent guests describe the hotel as cozy and inviting, praising the property's rustic decor. Rooms feature crackling fireplaces and mountain-inspired decorative accents; however, many recommend booking a lakeside room, unless you prefer views of the road. The Boat Club Lounge & Restaurant also wins visitors over with its locally sourced cuisine.

Montana's Big Sky Resort welcomes adrenaline junkies throughout the year to its primo ski slopes, leafy hiking trails and cozy mountain village setting. Guests describe the Summit as convenient: The hotel houses a variety of rooms — traditional guest rooms, condominium-style spaces and penthouse suites — tailored to groups of all sizes and interests. Larger rooms come equipped with fireplaces and kitchens, and some condos also feature hot tubs. What's more, hanging your hat here will put you within walking distance of Big Sky's restaurant scene. To top it off, visitors rave about how kind and accommodating the hotel staff members are.

The Triple Creek Ranch – located in the small, western Montana town of Darby – boasts an atmosphere that caters specifically to lovebirds. This adults-only resort features 12 different types of private cabins, each of which sports a wood-burning fireplace, a king-sized bed and easy access to hot tubs. But just because you can spend most of your time in your cabin doesn't mean you should. Recent guests loved the amorous atmosphere found in the Main Lodge and the tasty food at the restaurant, as well as the variety of activities available on the property (such as horseback riding, hiking, dog sledding and fly-fishing). For a more relaxing time, book an in-room massage or lounge by Triple Creek's pool. Just note that room rates here are pretty pricey, but you can breathe easy knowing that meals, drinks and select activities are included. And because this is a Relais & Châteaux property, Club 5C members can take advantage of the loyalty program perks here.

Where both Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson stayed when they visited Billings, Montana, in the early 20th century, the historic Northern Hotel reopened in 2009. Now, lodgers will find contemporary features that complement the property's big sky country decor. Accommodations are furnished with dark wood and amenities include free Wi-Fi and 24-hour room service. Guests appreciated the variety of perks and features at the hotel like the complimentary airport shuttle, the well-equipped fitness center and the gift shop. After working up an appetite exploring downtown Billings, grab a bite to eat at TEN restaurant, which serves steak and wild game and is worth the price tag because of its tasty food and impeccable service, according to recent guests. Another on-site eatery, Bernie's Diner, serves casual plates for breakfast and lunch daily.
