Historic hotel in downtown Cheyenne. Opened in 1911, its a throwback to the frontier days, but also up-to-date.
The inn was for many years a popular place for state legislators (and lobbyists) to stay during session. In the 1960s and 70s, another hotel, The Hitching Post (nicknamed The Hitch) deliberately went after lawmakers with a bidding war, taking a loss on rooms for House and Senate members, at one point charging as little as $5 a night, knowing that a broader payoff in receptions and parties would follow from cornering the legislative market. Many members of the legislature stayed at The Hitch until 2008-09, when new management caused the newer hotel to go bankrupt.
