A Residence Inn Like No Other
The Wilson Hotel offers the trusted amenities of Marriott with a uniquely Big Sky feel. Named after Wilson Peak and located in the heart of Big Sky’s Town Center, the hotel brings guests into the mountains without putting them out of reach.
"It’s not your typical Residence Inn. Guests walk in and they’re stunned—Long Peak right through the glass and a space that doesn’t feel like a chain."
With 129 rooms including one- and two-bedroom suites, a lobby bar, a year-round heated pool, and spa, the Wilson caters to families, skiers, and business travelers alike.
A Shuttle-First Ski Hotel
The Wilson’s complimentary shuttle is one of the most valued amenities by guests. Running daily from 7:30 AM to 10 PM, it provides direct access to Big Sky Resort, local restaurants, and scenic destinations up and down the Gallatin Canyon.
"We’ve moved over 13,000 guests on that shuttle since late November. For most, it’s their first time in Montana—and they don’t want to drive."
Whether guests are flying in from Georgia or Texas, the convenience of arriving and relaxing without a rental car is a major draw.
Where Location and Loyalty Meet
With walkable access to restaurants, shops, and events in Big Sky Town Center, The Wilson offers urban comfort in a mountain setting. The property also honors Marriott Bonvoy points, making it an easy pick for repeat travelers.
"Some guests stay on points. Others come back year after year because they know they’ll be taken care of."
Russell also notes The Wilson’s seasonal touches—live music, bourbon tastings, and family-friendly game nights—all designed to make it feel like more than just a place to sleep.
