The 'Gallatin Gateway Inn' is a Spanish-stucco style railroad hotel at
Gallatin Gateway, Montana. The hotel is one of the "Historic Inns of America." The Gallatin Gateway Inn was opened on
June 18,
1927. Constructed and operated by the Milwaukee Road (
Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad), the luxury hotel was reached by
electrified railroad branch line that connected to the Milwaukee's main line at
Three Forks, Montana. It was among the first hotels in Montana with telephones in every room, and offered travelers access to
Yellowstone National Park. Park buses took passengers from the hotel to the park.
It was the first hotel built and operated by the Milwaukee Road. The hotel was originally built to promote tourism on the Milwaukee Road's
''Olympian'' and
''Columbian'' passenger trains. The hotel was restored in the 1980s. It was added to the
National Register of Historic Places on
1980-01-24.
