Ski season and summer are the busiest times. Book well in advance to get the accommodation you want. July and August are the peak months for the park. Most operations close for the winter, though Old Faithful Snow Lodge and Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel remain open. The park contains several historic hotels, including Yellowstone s restored grande dame, Lake Yellowstone Hotel .
Guests dine with enchanting views of the lake.
Old Faithful Inn is a great choice, but be aware that the older rooms have thin walls. The rooms in the newer wing are away from the noisy lobby and the main entrance, where buses pull up, but are less historic.
