Kimpton Armory Hotel

I took my wife on a little birthday trip to Bozeman to enjoy downtown, and The Kimpton did not disappoint. From the moment we checked in, Gretchen and Taylor made us feel so welcomed—check-in was seamless, and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Our room was absolutely stunning, with amazing views of downtown Bozeman. During our stay, Charles Daenen, the General Manager, introduced himself while we were enjoying one of their creative cocktails. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made us feel truly valued as guests. Dinner at The Sky Shed was a highlight of our trip. Ava (like Avocado!) was our server, and she was an absolute gem. Her service was attentive without being overbearing—honestly, I’d come back just for her! And then there were the KFC tacos… I don’t know what Chef Nikki is doing in that kitchen, but wow—what a talent. I could’ve easily eaten 10 more of those tacos. Although it was just a one-night trip, it was exactly what we needed. The Kimpton team truly showcased exceptional hospitality. Thank you, Charles, and the entire staff, for a fantastic experience. We’re already looking forward to planning our next stay!

Stayed here recently for 1 night over Christmas; we had a room on 7th floor with a king bed. The hotel is quite comfortable and plush, and they made effort for the holiday season, with free drinks evenings and even a Santa visit. Didn’t get to enjoy much of the amenities as the rooftop bar and pool were quite crowded. Sadly, their on-site restaurant doesn’t cater to any dietary restrictions, i.e. they had no vegetarian options available, which was disappointing for a 5 star hotel. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, and offer top-notch service. Unfortunately we had some bad experiences during our stay. For starters, we had no warm water in the shower; after maintenance person’s visit and waiting 20-30 minutes with running water, I was able to lather, but then had to rinse in cold water again; after that we changed rooms. We also had a mishap during our Christmas Day breakfast - after waiting for the food for 40 minutes (it wasn’t overly busy in the dining room), we were served cold food in to-go boxes; we were offered to have it plated, but it seemed not worth further delay. On top of this, the food was nothing to write home about, very bland, lacking taste. The staff, including the manager on duty, were very helpful, apologetic and made every effort to make amends. All in all a very disappointing short stay for us, more of a 2-3 star experience, and not something we would like to repeat. The beautiful premises and rooms and excellent staff were the only good things about this hotel; therefore 2 out of 5 stars, as I had better/more consistent basic services in 3 star hotels.

We stay in top hotels all the time all over the world. This place has pretensions that fail to meet expectations. Overpriced for what you get, unfriendly, attitude (we are oh so cool). No parking. Valet guys very nice but inconvenient. Rooms nice but not particularly luxurious, mostly just “cool.” Finishes second quality in places. Other better places to stay in and near Bozeman.

I have stayed at a Kimpton before and it was such a great experience. The service was exceptional. For my visit with the Kimpton Armory Hotel in Bozeman... I was not super impressed. I stayed here for the holidays so I must say that the facility was extra busy during this time. I understood that and took it into consideration during this stay. Upon checking in, we were told by the front desk that our room was not ready but that they were working on it and that they would comp our bill at the Sky Shed while we waited. They also informed us that they were going to give us a call when the room was ready. The lobby was crazy and crowded with bags having tagged for guests as others were also waiting on their rooms. All of this was fine. However, it was the interaction between the gentleman checking us in that I was not super pleased with. The reservation was under my name but the whole time he was informing us, he only acknowledged my boyfriend and spoke directly to him. I remember even asking about parking to which the gentleman responded directly to my boyfriend. It was not a superb time - like a guttural punch of sexism. With all of that... once we walked away from the desk I had asked my boyfriend if he gave him a voucher/information for the Sky Shed like the guy mentioned, and my boyfriend didn't get anything. Frustrated, we decided to take a stroll around Bozeman since stores were still open instead. Well, we walked around for about an hour to waste time while we waited for the front desk to call us and let us know our room would be ready. Well the call never came and we returned to the hotel. The lobby had cleared out, including the tagged bags that were there before. One of the valet guys was even on his way to bring up a family's bags up to their room. At that point I was thinking our room was ready so I asked my boyfriend to check if our room was ready, lo and behold - it was. No call, no notification, nothing. The whole check-in experience was weird to me, it was not a pleasant first impression of this place. Other than that, the hotel itself was gorgeous. Chad at the Sky Shed was awesome and made us feel welcomed. Not sure if I will stay here again in the future. At the end of the day, it's the experience and the interactions that go a long way (in my book).

My wife,kids and I stayed for a one night staycation at Armory and loved it. The kids loved the pool, we got to enjoy the rooftop bar and the breakfast at Fielding’s was excellent. The rooms were great (best in Bozeman) and the location is perfect for dining and shopping on Main Street. We’ll definitely be back!
