CBRE Hotels, as exclusive advisor, is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire the Izaak Walton Inn (“Property”, “Hotel”, or “Asset”), a landmark 72-unit lodging destination situated in Essex, Montana, along the southern boundary of Glacier National Park. Originally constructed in 1939 by the Great Northern Railway and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Property is one of the most recognizable and historically significant hospitality assets in the Northern Rockies.
Positioned between the entrances to Glacier National Park and surrounded by more than one million acres of protected wilderness, the Hotel offers a truly irreplaceable location that cannot be replicated under current development and environmental constraints. The Asset’s unique lodging offering, authentic railroad heritage, year-round recreational appeal, and direct rail accessibility via Amtrak's Empire Builder create a differentiated guest experience that attracts outdoor enthusiasts, national park visitors, rail travelers, and destination leisure guests.
This rare offering presents investors with the opportunity to acquire a nationally recognized hospitality asset with significant operational upside through repositioning, revenue management enhancements, experiential programming, and strategic capital investment. With Glacier National Park continuing to rank among America's most visited national parks (over 3 million visitors annually) and barriers to entry remaining exceptionally high throughout the region, the Izaak Walton Inn is uniquely positioned to capitalize on long-term lodging demand growth and experiential travel trends.
