The Big Agnes Blacktail Hotel 3 extends the line's "Hotel" concept to three occupants, pairing two doors with two vestibules totaling 3.44 m² — nearly as much area as the 4.09 m² tent floor itself. The result is a tent where each of three occupants gets independent access and storage without climbing over tent-mates or gear.
Four aluminum poles push peak height to 112 cm and contribute to a total living space of 7.53 m², suiting both backpacking and bikepacking, where easy exterior access to gear matters. Minimum trail weight of 2864 g and full weight of 3116 g work out to 955 g per person at full capacity — a reasonable balance of space against weight for a group of three.
Fly and floor in 75D polyester with a 1500 mm PU coating and factory-taped seams handle typical conditions, and two peak vents help manage condensation. Eight stakes, four interior pockets, and a separate footprint round out the package. A practical pick for groups wanting space comparable to a four-person tent at lower per-person weight.
