About This Property

Brand-new Firebrand Hotel in Whitefish brings lodge vibes with city and mountain views. Rooftop hot tub, spa, and a warm bar lounge set the tone for a practical Montana stay. Off-peak rates hover in the low-$100s before taxes and a 10% service fee. We take those.

Your Morning Game Plan

Cooked-to-order breakfast is the move. You’re 15-20 minutes from the West Glacier entrance, so plan to leave around 6:40 AM to beat the crowds.

The Honest Truth

Look, it’s a brand-new lodge-style hotel in Whitefish with rooftop hot tub, spa, and a solid gym. The price climbs with taxes and a service fee, and some rooms aren’t perfectly quiet.

Reviews from Google

We just spent two nights at the Firebrand. The room was great the location perfect the front end staff were awesome but what really made our stay special was happy hour, the food and the bar tender Brian. There is no doubt in my mind where we will stay next time in Whitefish!

We stayed here for the week while we visited Glacier National Park. We couldn't have been more happy with the stay. You're 35 minutes from the west entrance of the park and 2 hours from the east entrance. We spent the days in the park, then at night we were walking distance from all the nice bars and restaurants of Whitefish. The room was very nice and the property is great. The bear spray vending machine was an easy and affordable way to get your spray if you plan to hike the park. We look forward to staying at the Firebrand again.

Fantastic hotel. The staff was amazing. Very helpful, polite, efficient. A great welcome to Whitefish. Jade at the front desk was exceptional. Perfect service while balancing a ton of check-ins at a very busy time. Highly recommended.
