Jackson Hole, Wyoming has long been celebrated as a destination for skiing and snowboarding, but this chic mountain town has so much more to offer beyond the slopes. From exploring two of the country’s most awe-inspiring national parks to fly fishing, white water rafting, dining, nightlife, and even retail therapy, this charming ski town is anything but sleepy. 

No matter what adventures your Jackson Hole agenda may include, the elegant neo-Western Hotel Jackson is an ideal home base for it all. The luxe lodge boasts a prime location just steps from Jackson Hole Town Square, putting guests within an easy stroll of the city’s best boutiques, coffee shops, and bakeries (Be sure not to miss the divine pastries and bowls at Persephone bakery, live music at The Silver Dollar, dinner at the beloved Snake River Grill, and drinks at the famed Million Dollar Cowboy Bar.) The hotel is also just minutes away from Grand Teton National Park, and a scenic hour’s drive from Yellowstone.

Opened in 2015 by a local family with deep roots in Jackson Hole, the hotel was the first LEED built hotel built in Jackson. Its Western-themed decor is cool and contemporary, with stacked stone, reclaimed barn wood, soft leather, and aged metals accented by a colorful collection of graphic modern art. Guest rooms are bright and airy, with cozy amenities like gas fireplaces, plush seating and textiles, coffee machines, and gorgeous views of Jackson Hole’s natural beauty. 

During ski season, Hotel Jackson offers guests a complimentary luxury shuttle to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. A dedicated concierge can help plan ski excursions and other outdoor activities, restaurant reservations, and a long list of other local adventures. Then, after an active day on the slopes or hiking trails, guests can take in views of the mountains while enjoying a private soak in the rooftop whirlpool. Read on to learn more about why Hotel Jackson makes the perfect home away from home in Jackson Hole.

The hotel boasts 55 Superior, Deluxe, and Premium guest rooms, including four luxe suites. All are outfitted with contemporary natural gas fireplaces, plush robes, L’Occitane toiletries, Nespresso coffee machines, and Geneva sound systems.

Morning coffee and newspapers, house-made cookies every afternoon, car service within a two-mile radius, and ski valet and transportation to Teton Village are all complimentary.

Guests can also get in a workout with the Fitness Center’s cardiovascular and core strength training equipment, or sit by the fire reading books or sip cocktails in the serene and sophisticated Sacajawea Library.

The hotel’s in-house restaurant, FIGS, showcases vibrant Lebanese- and Mediterranean-inspired dishes like colorful mezze platters, grape leaves stuffed with lamb, succulent beef tenderloin shawarma, grilled kafta, and flaky baklava alongside creative cocktails like spiked Lebanese Lemonade and the Za’atar Boulevardier. The restaurant’s wine program is also stellar, and was recently honored in Wine Spectator’s 2021 Restaurant Awards. 

Nearby Attractions

The hotel’s prime location steps from Jackson Hole Town Square means that guests are within blocks of Jackson’s best restaurants, bars, and boutiques. Cyclists can take advantage of over 250 miles of nearby bike paths.
