Hampton Inn and Suites Cody Welcomes a Unique Stay In Town Written by Andrew-Rossi on February 3, 2021
The latest hotel in Cody boasts several amenities that will make a comfortable trip for anyone booking a stay on the corner of Southfork and West Yellowstone.
“Welcome to the Wild West” reads the sign behind the front desk – with a square folder-holder serving as a temporary representation of the State of Wyoming – a perfect metaphor for the impressive and nearly finished Cody hotel at the corner of Southfork and West Yellowstone Roads.
Yesterday, the Cody Chamber of Commerce welcomed its latest member: the Hampton Inn and Suites Cody. The ribbon was cut for the new hotel, which officially opened Thursday, Jan. 28.

Franciscan Brother Simeon Schwemberger began his passion for photography of the Four Corners region after his discovery of a surplus large-format 5×7 glass-plate camera at the St. Michaels Mission near Window Rock, Arizona, in 1901. His poignant 1908 photo of a public Jemez Pueblo ceremony in New Mexico reflects his sensitivity for the Native peoples he photographed.

For millions of would-be travelers to the American West, 2020 will be remembered as the year that might have been. For those who did venture out West this past year, spontaneity and flexibility were the watch-words for successful heritage travel experiences. While many museums, restaurants, saloons, historic sites, parks, lodges and hotels are still following ever-changing safety guidelines due to the COVID-19 pandemic, intrepid Western travelers quickly realize great photo opportunities, hikes, roadside rests and spontaneous, seize-the-moment experiences.
Masks are available at no charge for both children and adults.
Getting a new mask is never a bad idea. Park County’s current mask mandate remains in effect until at least Jan. 8, and Wyoming’s mask mandate until Jan. 4.
Everyone 11 years and older must wear face masks in public spaces throughout Wyoming for the rest of 2020 and the beginning of 2021. While there’s no official word from either state or county officials, it’s possible that both mandates will be extended if COVID-19 cases and hospitalization continue to climb.
If you have any questions about Park County Homeland Security and/or the services provided to the community please call Director Jack Tatum at 307-527-1860.
