Sheridan Inn

856 broadway at 5th st., Sheridan, Wyoming USA

Independent

The Sheridan Inn is a historic hotel in Sheridan, Wyoming. Designed by the architect Thomas R. Kimball of Omaha, Nebraska in 1893, it was constructed by the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad as part of its development program in Wyoming associated with extension of the railway. Equipped with the first bathtubs and electric lights in that part of Wyoming, the inn was considered the "finest hotel" between Chicago and San Francisco. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964. Buffalo Bill Cody managed the hotel for the railroad from 1894 to 1896. He mostly attracted sportsmen for big game hunting in the Big Horn Mountains to the west, and hosted numerous notable guests. He often auditioned talent for his Wild West Show from the broad front porch during his ownership.

I stayed here 3/19/2020. I was greeted with friendly staff whenever I passed the front desk. They were very helpful in suggesting places to visit while in town. I stayed in "Wild Bill" themed room and it was very comfortable. Amid the covid19, they were not serving breakfast. However, they offered muffins and apples individually packaged and coffee - very considerate considering many restaurants closed for this time. I am so glad I stayed here as it infused history into my roadtrip out west. Check out the article by Breanna Wilson called, '36 Hours In Sheridan, Wyoming: The Cowboy State's Coolest Small Town' in Forbes.
