The 8 Best Jackson Hole Hotels

Heated pool and hot tub, fitness center and full-service spa, car transport service (local areas), complimentary s'mores

Guests will find a more casual, relaxed luxury at the Four Seasons in Jackson Hole, paired with ski-in, ski-out access during the cold season, and plenty of in-room delights. These include marble bathrooms, soaking tubs, gas fireplaces, and private balconies with views of Grand Teton National Park. While epic views of the mountains are guaranteed from the hotel, it’s the diverse offerings of activities on-property that make this place a popular stay for nature enthusiasts. The hotel encourages hiking, biking, fly fishing, heli-skiing, and even stargazing evenings with the on-site astronomer or via a horse drawn sleigh ride.

The fantastic, full service concierge sets this hotel apart, and can iron out any details including in-room boot fittings, wildlife safari coordination, or complimentary binoculars for a birdwatching expedition. You can also order a custom picnic basket to place in the back of luxury SUVs available to guests. Back on-site, dining options include The Handle Bar by Michael Mina—which serves up a serious, crowd-pleasing burger—or the poolside café. Indulge in a Mountain Whiskey Ceremony and tasting with local tipples or the après ski pop up bar set in an igloo where you can sip Moët by the glass. In the evenings, guests gather around the outdoor firepit for complimentary s’mores or take a dip in the heated pool and work out sore muscles before slipping into the standard 300-thread count Dobby sateen sheets. Traveling with kids? Don’t be surprised to find appropriately sized robes and cookies laid out and waiting.

Outdoor fireplace, steam room, luxury bath products

The Spa Suites at Rustic Inn is great for couples who enjoy a mix of relaxation and adventure. Rows of log cabins, including one- and two-bedroom suites, offer mountain chic vibes in the form of private soaking tubs, carved wooden furnishings, and lush linens encasing a double pillow top king mattresses. Snuggle up on the private terrace with a hand-selected bottle of wine from the wine cellar followed by a private in-room dinner or seasonal dinner with a view from the Rustic Inn Bistro. Terraces come outfitted with Adirondack chairs and some of the best views of Flat Creek, a local trout stream. Spacious vaulted ceilings and a rain shower feature add to the grandeur of the lodgings.

Venture out after a full day on the slopes or trails to the famous spa with stunning, brick inlay treatment rooms. A specially designated room for couples massage includes an aromatherapy soaking tub, dry sauna, and a eucalyptus steam room. Add on a sugar scrub, facial, or hot stone treatment to steam your cares away.

Full kitchen/coffee maker, fireplace in each cabin, free parking

Fireside Resort represents the best of refined mountainside architecture; the LEED-certified “tiny homes” that dot the property were designed by Wheelhaus and sit in a campground-like setting close together. What they lack in individual privacy, they make up for with upscale touches that leave any guest feeling pampered, even in the great outdoors. A local creek surrounds the property with a jogging trail front and center, and during the day guests can book a Jeep rental for exploration off-property. 

Priding itself on its communal ski town vibe, most of Fireside Resort’s modern cabins sleep four but a few can sleep up to six. They all have comforting touches and are equipped with sleek terraces, grills and picnic tables, and complimentary bundles of firewood for the private outdoor fire pit. Scenic mountain views provide the perfect backdrop for an après ski dip into the shared spa tub or the opportunity to curl up in front of the private fireplace with a good book. The property is dog-friendly (no other animals) and charges $75 for one dog or $125 for two.

The best ski-in/ski-out access in the area, private hot tubs or fire pits available in some rooms, game room with board games and puzzles

This high end mountain hotel is a fine example of contemporary, chalet-style lodging. Its most remarkable feature, however, is the incredible slope-side access. Nestled at the base of the mountain and within walking distance of everything this great ski village has to offer, the intimate resort feels more like an alpine club than a hotel, housing just eight rooms total. 

The large suites in two- and four-bedroom layouts all include full living rooms, chef’s kitchens and dining areas, and terraces with awe-inspiring mountain views (plus hot tub or fire pit options). Guests can enjoy Smart TVs, washer/dryer units, heated bathroom floors, and classic ski chalet decor (think lots of local art). Grab dinner at Old Yellowstone Garage, a local favorite restaurant for grub, order groceries, or let the hotel organize a private chef. A heated outdoor infinity plunge pool, cedar dry sauna, ski club, and 24-hour gym access are also available, as well as options for dog sledding, snow trekking, and whitewater rafting. 

Large, comfortable library filled with books, private balconies or patios, in-room soaking tubs, year-round heated swimming pool and whirlpool

Amangani means “peaceful home” in Sanskrit, and this hotel’s privacy and ample comforts give guests the feeling of staying at an inviting mountain home. The property's secluded location, perched on the crest of East Gros Ventre Butte, means it’s neither downtown nor at the base of the popular ski and adventure center, but rather an easy drive to both. Redwood and sandstone architecture blend the property into its natural surroundings, as does the understated design of the forty large guest suites and four private homes. 

Suites are split up into bedroom/living room areas and a bathroom/dressing room areas, and they contain plush carpets and lovely fireplaces with separate seating areas—which are filled with western-style animal skin details like cowhide chairs and throw pillows. Large balconies have wrought-iron outdoor furniture and allow guests to take in the majestic mountain and valley views (arguably the most special of any resort in Jackson Hole). The pinnacle of relaxed-yet-refined Western luxury, a highlight of staying at this all-season resort is taking wildlife excursions led by the hotel's extremely knowledgeable in-house wildlife guides.

Full-service ski valet, on-site saunas, babysitting services on the property, bike, binocular, and hiking pole rentals available to guests

Snake River Lodge is a great vacation spot for families thanks to its massive indoor/outdoor swim-through pool, which is complete with grotto waterfalls and hot tubs. Updated, clean guest rooms and suites in muted palettes are outfitted with comfortable furnishings, textured carpets, wildlife pillows, and lots of wood details—including armoires, headboards, crown moldings, and fireplaces. Many of these rooms can be connected for an ideal family setup, and larger residences that can fit even extended families are also available, ranging in size from 2,000 to almost 4,000 square feet. Many of these residence and penthouse units come with details like dramatic vaulted ceilings, large kitchens with seating, stone fireplaces, steam showers, and beautiful windows. 

The on-site restaurant, Gamefish, serves a reliable menu and has options for the kiddos, including Mac & Cheese and crowd-pleasing chicken fingers. 

Electric vehicle charging station, fitness center, heated pool, off-site tennis court access, business center

The only hotel on Jackson’s historic Town Square is The Cloudveil, an Autograph Collection hotel. Surrounded by terrific shopping, restaurants, and the Old West charms of Jackson, this hotel is an impressive contemporary lodge with cozy yet modern lodgings. Guest rooms carry through the Western feel with muted palettes punched up by leather stools and armchairs, animal skin details, mountain and buffalo artwork, handsome wooden features, and spa-like bathrooms with oversized shower stalls. Some rooms have corner fireplaces, bench seating areas, and large couches with chaise loungers, while others benefit from their own balconies and soaking tubs. The hotel also has a noteworthy concierge service to help guests curate transformative excursions, which include hundreds of miles of hiking trails and up-close wildlife safaris.
