The Historic Wolf Hotel

The Wolf Hotel threw open its doors on New
Year's Eve in 1893 with a gala masquerade ball and sumptuous dinner. One hundred years later, a like
celebration was held to honor the "Grand Old Gal" of the Valley.
Built by German immigrant Frederick G. Wolf for $6000, the two-and-a-half story Victorian-style
structure has since been the anchor for downtown Saratoga. Noted for its "fine food and convivial
atmosphere," the Hotel soon became a hub of the community.
Over its lifetime, the Wolf has served as a stop on the Encampment to Walcott Stage Line, a barber
shop, a guide/outfitter service, a drive-thru package liquor store and an art gallery. The Hotel has
also played home to many visiting celebrities, anglers, and big game hunters.
After painstaking restoration, the Wolf appears much as it did on its opening day and stands ready
to graciously serve your needs. The Cambells' are assisted by their
children (Kirsten, Jason, judd and Meghan) in the management of the hotel.
In the early 1970's the Hotel Wolf became Wyoming place number 78 on the National Register of
Historic Places. Since then, the rooms have been remodeled to their original charm.
The Georgia pine in the bar and lounge has been completely stripped to its original state, and in
the saloon you can have a good drink, find stimulating and witty conversation and shoot a game of
pool.
In the dining room you will discover why the Wolf maintains an international reputation for
excellence. Superb food and courteous service are stressed. The lunch menu features hamburgers (made
from freshly ground sirloin), several different sandwich selections, and other favorites. The
evening meal spotlights prime rib and sirloin steaks, crab legs, swordfish, lamb chops, and more.
Dinners include the soup and salad bar, bread and your choice of vegetables. We do recommend you
call (307)-326-5525 for reservations for either dinner or a stay.
Saratoga, elevation 6,792 feet, is nestled among cattle ranches in Wyoming's Upper North Platte
River Valley east of the Continental divide. Flanked by the Sierra Madre and Snowy Range Mountains,
Saratoga lies along the North Platte River. The town is famous for its mineral hot springs pool
which is free of charge and open 24 hours a day, year 'round.
Wildlife is abundant in the area. The North Platte is a Blue Ribbon trout stream alive with activity
in the summer and fall. Big game hunting, including antelope, deer, and elk, begins in September.
The Snowy Range Scenic Byway, Highway 130, was designated the second National Forest Scenic Byway in
the United States. Open from Memorial Day through October (weather permitting), the drive is a must
for visitors as well as locals.
