About the Venue: Holiday Inn Missoula Downtown
“In the Heart of It All, By the River”
For COFE 2026, we have secured the Holiday Inn Missoula Downtown, a unique full-service hotel located directly in the heart of the city with a park-like setting along the Clark Fork River.
Unlike standard conference hotels that can feel isolated, this location puts you steps away from Missoula’s vibrant “hip strip,” local breweries, and the University of Montana. You can walk out the front door and be on the Riverfront Trail in seconds—perfect for a morning run or an evening unwind after sessions.
Why You’ll Love Staying Here:
-
Rare Downtown Perk: Free Parking. This is a rarity in downtown Missoula and a significant value if you are renting a car or driving in.
-
Walkable Dining & Nightlife: No Uber needed. You are a 3-minute walk from local icons like the Wilma Theatre, Caras Park, and dozens of top-tier restaurants, coffee shops, and distilleries.
-
Airport Convenience: The hotel offers a complimentary airport shuttle to/from Missoula International Airport (MSO), making your arrival and departure seamless.
-
Relaxation Ready: All rooms feature microwaves and mini-fridges. You can also unwind in the large indoor pool and 24-hour fitness center.
-
On-Site Dining: Too tired to go out? The hotel features Brooks & Browns Bar and Grill, offering outdoor patio dining right on the riverfront.
