Since 1911, The Plains Hotel has stood proudly on Central Avenue, watching as Cheyenne transformed from a rugged outpost on Wyoming’s plains into a vibrant and cosmopolitan city. As one of the most iconic historic hotels in the region, our story is deeply connected with the culture and history of Cheyenne. Originally built to host visiting celebrities, dignitaries, and business leaders, the hotel quickly earned its reputation for sophistication and refinement. In fact, The Plains Hotel was the first in the area to feature a telephone in every guest room—a true symbol of modern luxury for its time.
