Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is a renowned destination, famous for its stunning natural beauty and access to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. This valley is a year-round playground for outdoor enthusiasts, wildlife lovers, and those seeking breathtaking views of the Teton mountains. Beyond its natural attractions, Jackson Hole boasts a vibrant cowboy culture, a sophisticated dining scene, and some of the finest hotels in the United States. It’s no wonder over 2.6 million visitors are drawn to Jackson Hole annually to experience its unique Western charm.
Given its popularity, especially during peak seasons, planning your Jackson Hole trip in advance is crucial. This includes securing tours, rentals, and, most importantly, accommodations. As a seasoned travel writer and hotel reviewer with extensive experience in Jackson Hole, I’m here to guide you through the best lodging options.
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of staying at numerous top-tier hotels in the Jackson Hole area. From unique, character-rich hotels like The Wort and The Virginian Lodge, to the epitome of luxury at Caldera House and the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole, I’ve explored a wide range of stays. Below, I present my curated list of favorite hotels, including a selection recognized by Travel + Leisure’s prestigious World’s Best Awards and It List.
Expert Recommendation
As a frequent visitor to Jackson Hole, Lydia Mansel spends considerable time in this destination multiple times each year, for stays ranging from a few days to several weeks. Her experience encompasses various types of accommodations, from cozy Airbnbs and rustic guest ranches to luxurious mountain lodges and the area’s most opulent hotels.
Caldera House

Caldera House, an It List honoree in 2019, maintains its allure as a chic Teton Village retreat. My winter experience at this eight-suite hotel highlighted its cozy and comfortable ambiance. The on-site adventure outfitter, “the Mudroom,” is incredibly convenient for ski rentals and gear. Beyond skiing at nearby Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, the spacious suites, complete with fireplaces, bathtubs, and laundry facilities, are tempting to stay in. I also enjoyed the fitness studio, heated outdoor infinity plunge pool, and cedar dry sauna.

The Rusty Parrot Lodge, a Jackson establishment since 1990, recently underwent a comprehensive renovation after a 2019 fire, reopening in July to reveal a fresh, updated look. During my visit shortly after its reopening (full review here), I was consistently impressed by the thoughtful amenities and design choices made by the family owners.

The vibrant and welcoming lobby of The Virginian Lodge.
Also available at Hotels.com
What We Like: As part of Outbound Hotels, The Virginian Lodge reopened in 2022 with a modern design that beautifully blends with classic Jackson Hole charm.
What to Consider: Located slightly outside Town Square, it’s a short drive or a longer walk to the town center, depending on weather conditions.
The iconic neon sign of The Virginian Lodge is a landmark as you leave Jackson towards Hoback Junction or Teton Village. More than just accommodation, it’s an experience.
This 185-room hotel (including 20 suites) offers a range of branded experiences. The lobby features a curated shop with local merchandise. Dining options include The Virginian Restaurant, a popular breakfast spot, and Billy’s Burgers, known for gluten-free options.

It features a swimming pool, on-site bar, on-site burger joint, and a huge outdoor lawn where people can play bags, enjoy camp fires, and even practice yoga. There are plenty of Adirondack chairs around the property where you can spend a quiet morning sipping coffee or a more eventful evening enjoying a cocktail and making s’mores (supplies are provided by the hotel!). The rooms are newly redecorated and spacious with all the comforts you would expect, and even feature blackout curtains, so you can truly relax after a long day. After spending three nights out in the woods, I returned to The Virginian and the shower was the greatest treat I’ve ever experienced.” –Taylor Fox, Editor

Teton Mountain Lodge & Spa focuses on delivering essential hospitality with a straightforward approach. While it may not have the elaborate frills of some Teton Village hotels, it prioritizes amenities that enhance a restful stay. These include a well-equipped fitness center, indoor and outdoor hot tubs and pools, a full-service spa, and Spur Restaurant and Bar, an après-ski venue serving three meals daily.

Stylish and comfortable guest room at The Cloudveil, Autograph Collection, blending modern and rustic design.
Also available at Expedia.com
What We Like: The lobby is exceptionally work-friendly, offering strong Wi-Fi, a communal table, and varied cozy seating areas.
What to Consider: Being in the center of town, mountain views are less panoramic compared to hotels in more secluded Jackson Hole locations.
The Cloudveil, a 100-room hotel in Town Square opened in 2021, combines convenience with character. Steps from the iconic antler arches, it’s within walking distance of Jackson’s attractions. Its modern-rustic interiors, excellent service, and rooftop bar and pool have earned it World’s Best Awards in 2023 and 2024.
During my stay, I appreciated the snack stations on each floor and the custom wood furnishings. The lobby fireplace, with comfortable seating and Western-themed books, is particularly inviting on cold Wyoming days, making it a welcoming space to return to.

Relax and rejuvenate at the Chill Spa in Hotel Terra, offering stunning mountain views.
Also available at Expedia.com
What We Like: Il Villaggio Osteria, the on-site restaurant, is a must-visit, whether you’re a guest or not, offering exceptional Italian cuisine.
What to Consider: Guest rooms may feel somewhat corporate in style, which might not appeal to all travelers seeking a rustic experience.
Hotel Terra, nestled amongst Teton Village hotels including its sister property, Teton Mountain Lodge & Spa, is a hidden gem. I’ve enjoyed stays here in both summer, utilizing the rooftop infinity pool, and winter, appreciating its proximity to the slopes.

The Wort Hotel
What We Like: Steeped in history, The Wort Hotel’s legacy is evident in its vintage photography, Western art, and strong sense of place, offering a unique glimpse into Jackson’s past.
What to Consider: The basement gym is small and can feel crowded with just a few people using it simultaneously.
The Wort Hotel, a landmark on Glenwood and Broadway, reflects Jackson’s enduring character amidst change. The lobby welcomes guests with a grand staircase, plush furnishings, pine wood paneling, and stone fireplaces, creating a relaxed atmosphere. A tradition of mine when staying at The Wort is to enjoy live music and drinks at the Silver Dollar Bar & Grill, accessible directly from the hotel. In winter, the fireplace in the lobby is a perfect spot for reading and unwinding.

Unparalleled views of the Tetons from the serene pool area at Amangani.
What We Like: Amangani offers arguably the most spectacular views of the Teton mountain range in Jackson Hole, providing a truly breathtaking backdrop.
What to Consider: While still luxurious, Amangani is noted as being somewhat dated and could benefit from updates to maintain its competitive edge.
Amangani, a 2024 World’s Best Awards winner, is synonymous with the luxury and seclusion characteristic of the Aman brand. Its Jackson Hole location is particularly celebrated for its stunning mountain vistas.

Charming guest cabins at Rustic Inn Creekside Resort & Spa, offering a cozy and intimate lodging experience.
What We Like: The gourmet breakfast buffet is an excellent way to start the day, fueling up for outdoor activities in Grand Teton National Park or skiing.

Know Before You Go
Rent a Car
While Jackson town is walkable and ride-sharing services are available, a car is recommended, especially for exploring national parks and remote areas. Car rentals are available at the airport and in town with shuttle services from off-airport companies.
Embrace the Outdoors
Jackson Hole is famed for outdoor activities and scenery. Winter offers skiing and snowboarding at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Snow King Mountain Resort, plus cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. Summer activities include hiking, horseback riding, rafting, fly fishing, mountain biking, and swimming. Pack accordingly to enjoy these diverse options.
Visit in the Off-Season
Summer is peak tourist season in Jackson Hole, leading to crowded roads, booked restaurants, and high hotel prices. Visiting during the shoulder seasons (April, May, October, November) offers a quieter experience with better accommodation deals.
