An Elegant Hotel with Playful Western Touches
Powered By TripAdvisorIn the heart of downtown Billings, the Northern Hotel has been welcoming guests since 1904. Restored to its former glory by award-winning designer Mitch Thompson, the hotel combines elegance with playful Western touches. Sink into a cowhide armchair next to the fireplace in the lobby adorned with vases of fresh flowers. Retreat to your charming guestroom and slip into a plush bed, triple sheets, and piles of pillows. Work out at the fitness center, dine at two restaurants, and sip your favorite drink at the lounge. It’s historic luxury at its best. Choose from one of 160 lavishly appointed guestrooms, including 47 suites, and snooze soundly on a Serta Elite 1000 Plush mattress.
- Treat yourself to a milkshake at Bernie’s Diner, with its soda fountain and cozy couches
- Enjoy dinner and drinks at Ten restaurant and lounge, serving libations and American dishes using fresh, locally sourced produce

After a redesign by award-winning Mitch Thompson, the Northern Hotel has retained its Western charm and has second-to-none amenities and services. You will be staying in an area steeped in history — the land of Sitting Bull and General Custer — and close to the vast wilderness of Montana, its vast blue skies, and its two national parks.

An upscale hotel, clean and comfortable

This is a high end hotel yet we got a great deal on a Friday night. Garage parking, self or free valet. Lobby is beautiful, great service. King room was excellent, comfy and quiet. Walking distance to many restaurants and bars. The bar in the hotel is part of the Ten restaurant. Very nice. Pricey but worth it.
Centerpiece of a fun town!

Great location and we particularly loved the history of this place. Great service (although ask specifically about maid service for the room.)
Wheelchair User Experience

In wheelchair and booked ADA suite. The bed was great and I slept like a baby. Staff were very friendly and responsive. A lot of misses though: Bed too high to transfer from wheelchair. No space around bed to maneuver. Shower controls not reachable from shower bench. No shower curtain and shower floor higher the the rest of the bathroom floor without curb so a flood ensued for the limited shower I could achieve. No shampoo or conditioner provided by hotel. No coffee in room, only in lobby. Luckily I brought my own supplies and coffee. TV in "living room" was not functional. Poor soundproofing. Bring earplugs for sleep as I did. And lastly, no response to reviews across platforms. That speaks volumes.
You can't go wrong at the Northern Hotel

Good location in downtown Billings just 10 minutes from the airport. Diner for breakfast and restaurant for dinner on site although there are quite a few restaurants in the area to choose from. Clean rooms and friendly service. Gym on premises.
A solid hotel downtown-highly walkable location!

This hotel has two restaurant on site, a nicer restaurant with a bar and a diner. It is super walkable to all the great dining and drinking options on Montana Ave.! There are also lots of other cafes, restaurants, and bars in walking distance. The lobby is gorgeous, parking is free and convenient, and there is valet service, if that’s your thing. Staff treated us so well!
