Boulder Hot Springs Hotel, Hotel in den Vereinigten Staaten
Boulder Hot Springs Hotel is a historic building near Boulder, Montana, known for its mineral hot springs. The main building was constructed in Queen Anne style and later remodeled in California Mission style, with over 50 rooms, a bathhouse, a dining hall, and additional wings added between 1891 and 1913.
James Riley discovered the springs in the 1860s and built a simple bathhouse and tavern in 1864. After his death in 1882, new owners transformed the site into an elegant retreat, with major renovations in Queen Anne style in 1891 and significant additions between 1910 and 1913.
The hotel takes its name from Peace Valley, a place historically used by Native Americans for healing and gathering. Visitors today can see the carefully decorated interiors with Tiffany glass fixtures and hand-stenciled walls in the Arts and Crafts style, reflecting the care earlier owners put into making it special.
The hotel sits a few miles south of Boulder on Highway 69 and is now a private site open to visitors wanting to explore the historic rooms and old fireplaces. It is wise to contact ahead of time to check access and understand what areas are available to walk through during your visit.
The hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and features rare Arts and Crafts decorations sourced from New York City that were specifically chosen for its interiors. This artistic detailing with hand-stenciled walls and beamed ceilings makes it a remarkable example of early mining and ranch hotel architecture in Montana.
