The design concept for The Cody, as a luxury boutique hotel, was formulated a number of years ago with the intent of providing business travelers and family vacationers with a luxury hotel experience previously unavailable in lodging establishments in Cody, WY. The design structure was intended to remind one of the appearance of Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park. Perhaps our lobby is most representative of the interior design created to remind us of early western hospitality and elegance.
Construction of the hotel began in 2007 and was completed in 12 months with the Grand Opening on May 1, 2008. The building was designed with 75 rooms and is environmentally friendly. Not only is the construction “green”, but the daily operating practices have the environment in mind as well. Energy consumption is limited by the use of state of the art environmental control systems and window casements. The wood trim throughout the building was reclaimed from wood discarded during the recent remodeling of the Old Faithful Inn and other historic inns. Interior paint colors are subdued earth tones which maintain fidelity with the earth colors in the Cody/Greater Yellowstone area.
Each guest room in the building is equipped with a microwave, mini-refrigerator, flat screen TV, DVD player, coffee maker, hair dryer, plush towels, ironing boards and terry cloth bathrobes. Each room has either one king bed or two queen beds and our guests often rave about the comfort of the beds. We promise you a wonderful night’s sleep! Deluxe level rooms have a balcony/patio for your enjoyment. A small number of our deluxe rooms have extra space and a fold-out queen size leather sofa which can sleep two additional persons (total of 6 persons in those rooms). There are 6 suites available which, in addition to the items mentioned above, contain a Jacuzzi, wet bar, and a large sitting area. Three of those six suites are equipped with a gas fireplace for an added touch of romantic elegance.
There are many additional features at The Cody which help to make your luxury lodging experience complete. We operate a complimentary shuttle service to anywhere in the Cody area including the airport and our downtown area. We have an indoor heated pool with lap lane for those who like to exercise and a Jacuzzi and dry sauna for those just wanting to relax. Adjacent to the swimming pool area is our health club with a variety of aerobic machines and weights. For those more inclined to outdoor exercise there are an infinite number of places to walk and jog. Should you be more interested in a bicycle ride please take advantage of our complimentary Chrysler touring bicycles. We have a guest laundry for your convenience and 24 front desk help.
Breakfast in our Cottonwood Creek dining hall is complimentary and expanded, from the norm, to include such hot items as egg casserole, sausage gravy and biscuits, waffles and French toast as well as cereals, bagels, breads, juices, yogurt flavors, sliced fresh fruit such as strawberries, and bananas. We serve our breakfast on china plates with silverware and linen napkins following our “green” concept.
For those inclined to relax outdoors on our stream-side patio we offer comfortable bench seats popular in the evenings for sitting by the gas fireplace. If you enter the lobby of The Cody in late afternoon or early evening you will find a tray of complimentary freshly made Otis Spunkmeyer chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies and our delicious iced tea.
The Cody has a business center which is available to all guests. It is located in our library and contains two laptop computers which guests may use to surf the net, read email or download boarding passes. For business guests we make available a fax machine and copy printer. In addition to the machines of a business center we provide locations in our lobby which are conducive to very small group business gatherings in the comfort and relaxation of a fabulous “home-environment”. The Cody has free Wi-Fi capability and local and domestic long distance telephone service is available at no charge.
For in-house guests or others requiring meeting space The Cody offers our Shoshone River Room which is capable of seating up to 75 persons in a “theatre-style” setting. That room may be divided, into two separate rooms for smaller meeting needs. The room is audio/video sophisticated through a ceiling mounted projector that is easily connected to your laptop for Power Point presentations including audio. The types of “meetings” we most often host are training seminars, board meetings, legal depositions, Christmas parties, weddings and/or wedding receptions. Catering arrangements can be easily handled by our staff if you choose. Our board room table is without a doubt the most unique in Yellowstone Country and was created especially for The Cody by local furniture designer, John Gallis. If you have questions about the singular use of our meeting room or how you can put together a combined package of guest rooms and meeting room services please contact our Sales Manager.
We are absolutely the best in Cody at providing our guests with help planning dining decisions. We provide a map at check-in which shows the locations of all the restaurants in Cody and we will recommend those restaurants which our guests most prefer. If you choose, we will use our shuttle to drop you off and pick you up from local restaurants. If you require carry out service from these restaurants just let us know and we will pick up your meal selection and deliver it to your room.
Because of our experience working with visitors, as well as our own personal experiences travelling through Yellowstone country, our staff members are experts at answering your questions concerning all facets of vacation trip planning in and around Yellowstone and the Big Horn Basin. All you need is to ask for our help.
Last, but far from least, we urge you to use the web to check out our website: The Cody; to like us on Facebook; and to look at our latest videos on YouTube. You will find specific information about The Cody on our website but the other websites stick mostly to highlighting the reasons you come to Cody/Yellowstone/Big Horn Basin country. We believe your experiences in the mountain country of the Cody/Yellowstone area will speak to your sense of yearning for freedom. You will find freedom to roam without the usual constraints of your home area. Come horseback riding, hiking, sightseeing, rafting, backpacking into the wilderness, searching for sightings of animals which roam only in this country; just enjoy the vastness of our mountains, prairies and high deserts. We are confident you will want to come back again. Please don’t make the mistake that some others make which is to allow insufficient time for this area and most wind up wishing they had spent more time here. By the time you try to fit in visits to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, the Cody Nite Rodeo, Cody Trolley, Cody Gunfighters, sightseeing over the Beartooth Highway, the wild horse range and Hidden Treasure boat tours……and, oh yes, Yellowstone National Park, you will need at least two nights in Cody. We look forward to seeing you at The Cody!
