[best of missoula] Best Lodging Doubletree Hotel For those visiting Missoula or looking to book a “staycation,” here’s how you do it: Call the Doubletree and ask for a riverside room. This means you’ll have a pristine view of Mount Sentinel, the Clark Fork and, more often than not, an angler casting flies from the rocky shore. Then, ask to make a reservation at the hotel’s Finn & Porter restaurant for one night during your stay. This sets you up for an evening of fine dining and exquisitely prepared cocktails, all just a few steps from your room. The Doubletree offers the sort of accommodations that help make Missoula look so good to those just passing through.
