A new hotel has opened its doors in West Yellowstone, offering travelers a stylish and locally inspired base just minutes from the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Starlite Yellowstone Hotel, part of Hilton’s Tapestry Collection, brings 133 thoughtfully designed guest rooms to the gateway town, blending upscale comfort with the natural textures and history of the surrounding landscape.
Developed by East Avenue Development LLC and managed by Vista Host, the hotel reflects the wild beauty and cultural spirit of the region. Every detail, from layered natural materials to its artful design, was created to honor Yellowstone’s sense of wonder.
“National parks move people. They invite us to slow down, be curious, and take in something bigger than ourselves,” said Justin Mabey, co-founder and partner at East Avenue Development. “With Starlite Yellowstone, we wanted to create a stay experience that reflects that same energy.”
Located at 301 Madison Avenue, the hotel sits in the heart of downtown West Yellowstone, within walking distance of shops, outfitters, and the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center. For those exploring further, nearby ghost towns such as Virginia City offer a glimpse into Montana’s frontier past.
Guests can start their day with a chef-curated breakfast at the hotel’s signature restaurant, HB on Madison, or return after a day of adventure for dinner featuring bold flavors and Native American influences. On-site amenities include an indoor pool with a 100-foot water slide, a family-friendly game room, and Hilton’s Connected Room technology that allows guests to personalize lighting, temperature, and entertainment from their mobile device.
“The design and features of Starlite Yellowstone offer both comfort and a direct connection to the natural beauty of this destination,” said Evan Studer, chief executive officer of Vista Host. “It captures the feeling of the Yellowstone experience and carries it through every part of the stay.”
By combining modern hospitality with a deep respect for its surroundings, Starlite Yellowstone is positioning itself as a retreat for families, adventurers, and travelers looking to immerse themselves in one of America’s most iconic landscapes.
