Fairmont Hot Springs Resort - Montana

What Fairmont Hot Springs Resort - Montana does

Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, located in Anaconda, Montana on a 500-acre property cradled by the Continental Divide, is a privately held full-service resort originally established in its modern form in 1972 by Lloyd Wilder on the site of the historic Gregson Hot Springs (hot springs use dating to 1869). The resort operates 153 guest rooms and suites, four natural hot springs pools (two Olympic-sized swimming pools and two mineral soaking pools, indoor and outdoor) fed by a virtually unlimited supply of 155-degree geothermal water, a 350-foot enclosed water slide open year-round, an 18-hole par-72 golf course (6,741 yards, designated a Golf Digest "Best Places to Play"), Full Swing Multi-Sport Simulators with 220-inch screens and 84 championship courses, three dining venues (Waters Edge fine dining, Springwater Café casual, Minerals Lounge bar), Whispering Willows Spa (operated as an independent company in a leased on-site studio), and a 20,000-square-foot conference center accommodating 6 to 600+ guests.

The resort serves six primary customer segments — leisure families, business and conference groups, couples and romance seekers, golf enthusiasts, wedding and event parties, and regional/destination travelers — through direct-to-consumer channels including a WordPress-based website with B4Checkin booking engine, toll-free phone reservations, email, on-site sales, and a dedicated group sales team. Revenue is generated through seven streams: lodging (153 rooms with resort fees of $19-$35/night), hot springs pool access (day passes and memberships), golf operations (green fees, cart rentals, merchandise, memberships, and simulator hourly/subscription use), food and beverage (three venues plus catering), spa services (leased), events and banquets (conference center and wedding packages), and bundled vacation packages (Family Fun, Golf, Stay and Play, Special Occasion, Ultimate Romance, Wedding) priced $349-$669 per couple per night for Summer 2026. The company is undergoing a major pool renovation with all new pools scheduled to open summer 2026.

Operations are run by a leadership team of approximately 13 identified managers (within a total workforce of 42), led by General Manager Steve Luebeck, with directors overseeing sales, food and beverage, marketing, and facilities, plus specialized roles in golf, catering, hotel operations, and hot springs management. The resort is privately held with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or public financials, and ownership has historically changed hands within the Wilder family and affiliated buyers since 1972.
