Accommodations & Amenities

Welcome to the Grand Gateway Hotel Rapid City

It was 1985 when Carl Lester built his first hotel in Rapid City South Dakota called the Grand Gateway Hotel, envisioning not only a place to stay but an experience that was ready and waiting for the countless vacationers visiting Rapid City SD from home. Thirty-five years later, as the Stewards of our Grandfather's dream, we are still setting high standards for the ultimate hotel experience. This experience invites you and your loved ones to let loose, relax, and have fun! Our 132 thoughtfully decorated rooms create a cozy, Victorian feel. Our award-winning sports/karaoke bar provides fun nightly entertainment. Our indoor pool  & water park is a place where three generations enjoy their family as their children rip down a wild water-slide!  Perkins restaurant & bakery offers a continental breakfast, lunch and Dinner  24 hours a day. And yet with all this, we understand our spaces are just the beginning of your adventure into the black hills national forest –into the elevator and out the front doors, the Pioneering Spirit and a Sense of Wonderment awaits.
