The Wolf Hotel in Saratoga, Wyoming in the
Upper North Platte River Valley offers fine accommodations,
great food, and welcoming hospitality.
On New Year's Eve, 1893, The Hotel Wolf
opened with a gala masquerade ball and sumptuous dinner.
Exactly 100 years later, a like celebration commenced to honor
the "Grand Old Gal" of the Valley. Frederick G. Wolf
built the two and one-half story, red-brick and frame building
way back then. It was the tallest building in downtown
Saratoga for many years. Since Mr. Wolf was such a popular
businessman, the Hotel soon became the hub of the community,
noted for its "fine food and convivial atmosphere."
The Hotel registered in the National
Register of Historic Places has been restored with careful
attention to its historical value and the comfort and
convenience for modern-day travelers including High Speed
Internet access.
Furnished with some of the original
furniture, the guest rooms are quaint, clean, and charming. An
Executive Suite featuring wet bar, queen bed, and sitting area
is available. Three additional suites have been added to
provide upscale accommodations. All nine guest rooms sport
private baths.
The Hotel Wolf Restaurant enjoys a regional
reputation for excellence. Luncheon items include a varied
selection of freshly prepared sandwiches, the famous Wolf
Burger, soup, and a fresh salad bar, along with daily
specials. At dinner, various cuts of steak, prime rib, chicken
and seafood are featured, accompanied by the soup/salad bar.
The Old Time Saloon is a great gathering place for travelers,
sportsmen and salesmen to recap the day and partake of a
favorite beverage. Originally designated the "Sample
Room," it's said the best fishing of all takes place
right in this room - night after night! |
Saratoga, elevation 6,792 feet, is nestled
among cattle ranches in the Upper North Platte River Valley,
east of the Continental Divide. Prehistoric volcanic activity
left the town with a beautiful mineral hot springs pool, free
and open 24 hours a day all year long.
Flanked by the Sierra Madre and Snowy Range
Mountains, the area is abundant with wildlife. The North
Platte is a Blue Ribbon trout stream alive with activity in
the summer and fall. Big game hunting begins in September.
Most spectacular is the Snowy Range Scenic Byway, Hwy 130, not
to be missed. |
