Travel Back In Time With A Stay At The Historic Hotel Finlen In Montana
Here in Montana, we’re all about preserving our local history — and sometimes, it really pays off. Butte was once known as the Richest Hill on Earth due to its booming mining operations, and around the turn of the 20th century, it was thriving. The historic Hotel Finlen was founded in 1924, and it’s still standing (and more beautiful than ever).
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life.

That's when the Historic Tower was constructed, with retro mid-century motor inn joining it a bit later.

The hotel was originally established by James Finlen, the son of Miles Finlen, an Irish immigrant who opened the McDermitt Hotel in Butte in 1889. It was built for $750,000, a hefty sum back then. After being owned by the same family for 40 years, the property was acquired by a group of four investors in 2018.

President Harry S. Truman, then-senator John F, Kennedy, Thomas Edison, and even Charles Lindbergh stayed here.

Walk right out the door and some of Butte's best restaurants and local businesses will be steps away.

There are a few suites with queen-sized beds and sofa beds for families or small groups of friends traveling together.

The property also offers a fitness center, two large ballrooms for private events, and a coffee bar in the lobby.

Its current owners have been working tirelessly to improve it without disturbing guests, and the results are stunning.
