Blair Hotels

What Blair Hotels does

Blair Hotels is a privately-held hospitality company that operates five resort-style hotel properties across four Wyoming towns — Buffalo, Cody, Sheridan, and Riverton. The company provides lodging, on-site dining, meeting and event venues, and full-service wedding and corporate event planning, positioning itself as an authentic gateway to Wyoming's natural attractions including Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Tetons, and Mount Rushmore. The portfolio includes Holiday Inn Cody (Buffalo Bill Village Resort) with 345 rooms and 10,000 square feet of convention space, Holiday Inn Riverton Convention Center with 117 rooms, The Ranch at UCross (a four-star historic resort with 31 VIP accommodations for exclusive-use group bookings October through April), and Comfort Inn Cody near Yellowstone Regional Airport.

The business generates revenue across four primary streams: hotel room and suite rentals, meeting and event space rental, professional wedding and event planning services, and on-site food and beverage operations including QT's Restaurant and Bottoms Up Lounge. Two of the properties operate under the IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) franchise, providing access to the IHG Rewards Club loyalty program and global booking infrastructure. Pricing is quote-based and varies by property, room type, season, and group size; no rates are publicly disclosed.

The company serves multiple customer segments through a sales-led, event-driven go-to-market motion. Primary segments include family vacationers and tourists visiting Wyoming's national parks, corporate groups planning retreats and conferences, wedding parties seeking full-service planning, and youth sports teams. Distribution occurs through direct website booking, phone reservations, IHG's global platform, and a dedicated direct sales team handling corporate and wedding RFPs. The company employs 101-250 staff and is led by CEO Ted Blair.
