WHITEFISH, Montana — Pursuit recently unveiled Hotel Whitefish, a multimillion-dollar reinvestment in Grouse Mountain Lodge in Whitefish, Montana, that will introduce a refreshed stay and updated event and gathering experience in one of the state’s best-known mountain destinations.

Rolling out in phases, the renovation includes 72 refreshed South Wing guest rooms, which are now open; pool and hot tub upgrades arriving this summer; a new 8,250-square-foot Event Pavilion opening this fall; and reimagined dining, shared spaces and additional guest rooms as part of the full Hotel Whitefish launch in summer 2027.

The first chapter of the transformation is already underway. The renovated South Wing guest rooms include larger suites designed for celebrations, family travel and extended stays. Pool, sauna and hot tub enhancements are expected this summer, giving guests an early look at the elevated experience while the 144-room property continues to welcome visitors as Grouse Mountain Lodge during the phased transition.

The investment reflects continued growth in demand for year-round mountain destinations and expanding interest in events and group travel in the Whitefish market. A new 8,250-square-foot event center is under construction and will open in September, creating a dedicated venue for meetings, celebrations and community gatherings in Whitefish. The space will accommodate up to 250 guests for banquets, 300 in theater style and 350 for standing receptions. The event center will be complemented by an outdoor ceremony site, existing conference rooms and additional flexible event spaces. This brings the total event space to 16,800 square feet across the property.

Beyond the guest rooms and event center, future phases of the transformation will introduce reimagined arrival and social spaces across the property, including new lobby, restaurant and cafe concepts, updated conference areas, and additional guest-facing spaces. The full Hotel Whitefish experience is scheduled to debut in summer 2027. Inspired by Montana’s landscape, the design pairs natural materials, warm textures and modern lodge influence to create a guest experience that feels distinctly Whitefish.

“For more than 40 years, this property has welcomed visitors to Whitefish and supported the local tourism economy,” said Gary Rodgers, COO, Pacific Northwest, Pursuit. “Hotel Whitefish reflects our confidence in the future of this community. This investment allows us to create a stronger year-round destination experience, support local jobs and businesses, and ensure this property continues serving both visitors and residents for decades to come.”

The transformation is part of Pursuit’s broader plan to deploy more than $300 million into growth projects across its portfolio by 2030.

Pursuit, formerly known as Glacier Park Inc., has been part of Montana for more than 60 years. As the transformation unfolds, the property will continue to serve as a gathering place for both visitors and the Whitefish community. The property remains open and continues to welcome guests as Grouse Mountain Lodge throughout the transition.
