Ranch hotel

A ranch hotel is a type of resort accommodation located on a working agricultural and equestrian estate, typically in the Rocky Mountains or central California. The format dates back to the Wyoming dude ranches of the 1880s, opened to East Coast guests eager to taste the cowboy lifestyle. The contemporary template preserves the wrangler codes, the morning round-up and the closing barbecue, while grafting on a spa, a wine cellar and a gastronomic dining room. The American ranch hotel often runs an all-inclusive formula, with a minimum stay of three nights and daily rates between 1,800 and 4,500 dollars per person. Repeat guests represent 65 % of bookings each season.
