There’s not much to the town of Twin Bridges, Montana (population 395), and that’s just the way the locals like it. But what it lacks in amenities and attractions, it makes up for in charm. And it happens to be home to a restaurant in a building that dates back to 1879.

The Old Hotel is located at 101 East 5th Street (at Main Street) in Twin Bridges.

This was once the Twin Bridges Hotel, built in 1879. Montana didn't even become a state until 1889.
In 1996, the property was beautifully renovated. And while it was instantly popular serving its new purpose as a restaurant and bed and breakfast, it was the current owners who really brought it to life.
The Old Hotel
Bill and Paula made their first trip to Montana together in 2001, promptly falling in love with the Treasure State (naturally). They loved it so much, in fact, that they left Hawaii to live here. Paula began working at The Old Hotel right away, and eventually, she and Bill bought it.
