We are a 1910 National Historic Landmark hotel built by James J. and Louis Hill of the Great Northern Railway. After being closed for fifty years, the property underwent a three-year restoration completed in 1999 and is now a National Historic Landmark. The Belton Chalet was the first chalet built for Glacier Park and the park’s first winter headquarters. Belton Chalet, family owned, once again welcomes guest from across the world. Thank you for being our guest and a part of our history.

We try to stay here for a night each time we visit the park. It's beautifully restored and is so clean. The restaurant has excellent food at night. We missed that they didn't have a fire going in the morning this time on our visit, but it had been warmer temps. We love the charm of the hotel.

I loved it at the Belton Chalet, and I'm so glad I stayed there. It is so charming, and my room had a balcony view of the mountains. It is historic (smaller rooms, real keys, thin walls) but I loved it and would stay again.

This is a lovely historic hotel that truly recreates the feel of turn-of-the-century Western tourism. That includes relatively small, unairconditioned rooms with walls so thin the management leaves earplugs on the beds for guests (no kidding). The tiny in-room bathrooms are a later add, and have a stall shower and a toilet. The wash sink is in the room. In our room, there was no closet, or anyplace to hang clothes. No TV or fridge. If you can get past all that, you will love the beautifully landscaped grounds and the views from the terrace on the reception floor, where you can relax in the afternoon and enjoy the mountains in the distance. I found the staff at the reception desk to be unresponsive to rude. I asked for some additional time to check out, and was flatly told no. I was told to store our bags at the desk (apparently there is no check room). The continental breakfast is limited to pastries and coffee. There is a ping pong table and a shuffleboard table in the lower lounge that we also enjoyed using. …

We stayed here on our wedding night. Loved the proximity, service and the historical feel. We did not eat at the restaurant, but have in the past and the food was wonderful. Looking forward to our next trip!

Our children treated us to a really wonderful experience with dinner at the Belton Chalet. Great server with a wonderful sense of humor. The service was the best and the food was delicious My son and I went for the Steak. Great selection as it was done to perfection. A little pricy but well worth it. A night to remember.

We stayed 4 nights at the Belton Chalet and loved that it was a historic building. The rooms were small but very clean and cozy. Loved the screen door to the balcony and the view of the mountains! Nice that it is so close to the entrance to Glacier National Park and that West Glacier Village was within walking distance.

The location and charm were perfect. We enjoyed proximity to West entrance and porches for coffee and view. Rooms are clean but a bit small with ltd space for clothes. Bed and pillows comfy. The staff was very friendly. Would recommend.

We picked the Belton Chalet due to its proximity to Glacier National Park. It is a quaint old hotel that provided us with a great home base while we explored the park. We had a room with a balcony and loved sitting outside in the evening (stayed light until after 9:30), reading and talking. The hotel is great for adults liking for a place to get away. We had dinner at the restaurant. The food and service were great.

Great place to stay minutes from the West Glacier National Park entrance. Great food, clean rooms and friendly staff. I would definitely stay here again. Ear plugs were given due to the proximity to the train tracks

Charming historical setting with friendly staff and excellent proximity to the park gates. As expected with the vintage of the building, don't expect a tonne of room or a great night's sleep as you'll hear every hallway conversation, highway vehicle, train, and door open/close, but not much that can really be done about that in these historical buildings. Still fine, and the restaurant was excellent. Tip: enjoy the view via the restaurant and daytime activities and give up the view to have a room facing away from the highway so a little quieter!
