Yellowstone's iconic hotels to stay closed for the season, even if park opens

The iconic hotels inside Yellowstone National Park are likely to stay closed if the park reopens.

Xanterra Travel Collection announced it would begin offering limited lodging and other services in Yellowstone on June 15, assuming the park is open to visitors by then, but famous locations like the Old Faithful Inn and Lake Hotel are going to remain closed.

At first, the options will be limited to campgrounds and the company’s cabin-style offerings with private bathrooms, according to a Xanterra news release. Dining options will be limited to “grab-and-go” options.

Rick Hoeninghausen, a spokesman for Xanterra, said more services could be offered later in the season depending on the recommendations of public health experts, but a limited opening was the plan for now.
