Hyland Hotel

Early 20th-century historic building, once the town's first hotel

One of Monticello's older surviving structures, the Hyland Hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1916–1918, it started as a private residence before serving as the town's first proper hotel. The building reflects the modest but sturdy vernacular architecture of early 20th-century Utah frontier towns.

The building is not currently operating as a hotel and is not always accessible for interior visits, but it is worth noting as part of Monticello's small historic core. It sits a short walk from the center of town.

A story
The building was constructed between 1916 and 1918 by Joseph Henry Wood as a family home, then converted into the Hyland Hotel. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an example of vernacular architecture in a remote pioneer settlement — one of the better-preserved early buildings in San Juan County.
