Old Faithful Inn
A large log lodge completed in 1904. Its 24-meter-high lobby and massive stone fireplace make it the showcase of the National Park Service's log-building style.
The inn was designed by architect Robert Reamer and built with local pine and rhyolite. The lobby soars about 24 m, with interlacing timber beams, staircases and a huge stone fireplace that are very impressive. From the second-floor balcony, you can watch Old Faithful erupt. Non-guests may enter the lobby to look around, and there are free guided tours in summer. The dining room serves a buffet. Rooms must be booked through Xanterra about a year in advance. Prices are high, and most rooms are old-fashioned.
