The legendary Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel's first phase of remodeling is done and open to the public. You can read about all the details here:

Now, a word about a Yellowstone oddity. US 89 doesn't technically exist inside Yellowstone National Park. Nope. There are no signs denoting US 89. Of course, we all know that US 89 transects the park from Gardiner to Flagg Ranch. The National Park Service does not carry state or federal road numbers inside National Parks. All roads inside parks are simply "park roads" going hither and yon as they are wont to do.
Anyway, the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel is THE most luxuriousness, historically significant hotel that sits right smack dab beside the roadway that we all know to be US 89 even if it's not signed.
The only other contenders for "most luxurious" would be Old Faithful Inn and Prescott's Hassayampa Inn. However, the Mammoth Hotel has both of those beat hands down. No contest.
Old Faithful Inn is a wonderful, endearing property but we doubt you would ever find anyone to call it "luxurious." The Hassayampa Inn is much smaller than the Mammoth Hotel and while it has a slightly luxurious ambiance, it simply can't compare to The Mammoth property.
