Hotels have their time and place, but sometimes nothing tops a stay at a good old-fashioned bed & breakfast. And it’s extra-special when that bed & breakfast happens to be at the Copper King Mansion, one of Montana’s finest gems. Here’s why you should book yourself a stay at this historic landmark as soon as you can get away.
Located in Butte, the Copper King Mansion is a gorgeous 34-room home that was built from 1884 to 1888.

The house utilizes Romanesque Revival Victorian architecture, and it’s absolutely stunning.

The mansion has been lovingly restored and modern amenities have been added, but it still maintains its beautiful historic charms.

If you love the mansion too much to leave (and you might), you’re welcome to book a stay in one of the five rooms and suites available.

Every morning you’re here, you’ll wake up to the smell of a gourmet breakfast being cooked for you, complete with fresh coffee…
