Hotel at a Glance: The Firebrand Hotel

The Firebrand Hotel provides a feast for the eyes in all directions. The 4-star hotel looks out onto downtown Whitefish, with the ski slopes of Whitefish Mountain Resort a short drive away. Meanwhile, the hotel sits less than 30 miles from Glacier National Park’s rugged mountains and pristine lakes. Take in this scenic domain from atop the hotel’s rooftop patio.

• Modern amenities: Built in 2016, guest rooms include free WiFi and french doors that reveal bathrooms outfitted with stone floors and granite countertops, plus floor-to-ceiling glass showers.
• The Spa pampers The Firebrand’s guests with soothing massages and facials.
• Winter activities abound: In addition to skiing, the region is beautifully suited for fat-tire snow bicycling, horse-drawn sleigh rides, and snowmobiling. Ask the hotel staff for help arranging any activities.
• Reception hours on Sundays–Thursdays invite visitors to sample wine and beer while socializing with The Firebrand’s staff and other guests.
• Coffee and libations from regional producers are served at the hotel’s artisanal coffee shop.
• Firebrand brings the outside in by dotting its walls with local photographer Ken Wensel’s stunning portraits of Montana landscapes and lifestyles.

Whitefish, Montana: Charming Alpine Town and Skiing Haven

The Flathead Valley is an expanse of jagged peaks and windswept lowlands carved out by glaciers during the last ice age. Within the valley is the charming alpine village of Whitefish. Restaurants, specialty boutiques, and a microbrewery sit along the main drag of Central Avenue, and the Northern Rocky Mountains jut out of the skyline to the north. The Whitefish Mountain Resort draws in many visitors for skiing, snowboarding, and even night skiing. Though outdoor activities are a major draw, Whitefish also features an independent theater company, art galleries, a historical museum, and a Frank Lloyd Wright–designed building—one of a scant few in Montana.
