Stay near Yellowstone this summer using points at this brand-new, suite-style Marriott
There's a new hotel outside Yellowstone National Park in Montana where travelers can use their Marriott points this summer.
The TownePlace Suites Bozeman West opened Thursday following an 18-month build, offering 107 extended-stay suites complete with full kitchens (including full-size refrigerators and dishwashers), work desks and sofas in select rooms, according to the hotel. The new property is also pet friendly — and will offer your furry friends dog treats and beds to make their stay more comfortable.
TownePlace Suites Bozeman West is just over 4 miles from downtown Bozeman, and just over an hour's drive from Gardiner, Montana, where the north entrance to Yellowstone is located. It also offers easy access to skiing since it is just over an hour from the Big Sky Resort.
"We're proud to bring a fresh, elevated hotel experience to Bozeman with this custom build," Jennifer Coppinger, the general manager of TownePlace Suites Bozeman West, said in a statement shared with TPG. "Whether you're staying a few nights or several weeks, our thoughtfully designed spaces and local touches are here to help guests feel relaxed, connected, and inspired."
In addition to fully equipped rooms, the new property boasts a heated indoor pool and hot tub, a grilling area, a fitness center, a laundry, and an outdoor seating area complete with a fire pit. Travelers who don't want to cook in their suites can order at the full-service restaurant, The Alpine, or enjoy the free breakfast buffet in the mornings.
Public spaces are designed to be rustic-chic with dark wood accents, a moody color palette of black and gray with pops of warm orange and green, and a lobby fireplace just begging guests to relax after a long day outdoors.
Jon Braxton, the co-owner of the new hotel, said in a statement he believes it is "something truly special that offers both comfort and character for today's travelers."
Rates start at $137 or 44,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night, according to a search on the hotel's website.
TownePlace Suites is one of Marriott's longer-stay brands where travelers earn 5 base points for every dollar spent.
