Historic Landmark
The Higgins Hotel, on the National Register of Historic Places, is celebrating its 100 year anniversary. We have done our best to maintain the character and history of this great place, and hope that you will enjoy the historic luxury that we have worked to capture in our rooms, suites and public areas. Along with the Antelope Bar and Prairie Kitchen, we offer comfortable accommodations and terrific fresh food and libations for our guests.
"In" With the Old, In With the New.
Built in 1916, the Higgins Hotel has been a Glenrock institution for nearly a century. The hotel is currently undergoing remodeling and renewal to assure that all overnight accommodations are comfortably updated. Flat screen televisions are one necessary compromise to the otherwise historical restoration of the guest rooms. The third floor (our Centennial Floor), which has five bedrooms and a large living room, is configured as the hotel was originally designed with one 3-room bathroom facility and can be rented in its entirety or on a room by room basis. Our Centennial rooms are perennial favorites of the many hunters and outfitters that visit the hotel annually in pursuit of the great hunting the area affords.
