Red stone from the Gros Ventre Range accents the exterior of this historic hotel. The upper level is half-timbered. Guests step from old-time wooden sidewalks into a lobby appointed with Western art and antiques, dark-wood paneling, overstuffed couches, and a fireplace topped by a moose head. The original grand staircase from 1941 leads to a sitting area with beamed cathedral ceiling, red-rock fireplace, and mountain views. The hallway leading to the bar is lined with stills from classic Westerns filmed at or near the hotel. A “Wall of History” displays newspaper articles from 1941 and photos of movie-star guests.

Perched on Gros Ventre Butte, 1,000 feet above the Jackson Hole valley, this ranch resort is on a 1,000-acre wildlife refuge facing the jagged Grand Teton peaks. The resort caters to affluent outdoor enthusiasts who are drawn by the views and the peaceful, natural setting.

What to expect: This upscale, ski-in mountain lodge is across from the Saddlehorn Activity Center and adjacent to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, which is accessible via heated walkway. An antler chandelier illuminates the porte-cochere, and a carved bear bench adds a note of whimsy. Inside, Asian rugs complement hardwood floors, carved bear cubs peek out from pillars and lamps, and a stone fireplace adds warmth.

Amenity highlights: At the five-level Avanyu Spa, waterfalls spill over boulders into a freeform outdoor pool, and spa tubs are tucked into steam-filled grottos. In addition to signature spa treatments (surcharges), guests enjoy complimentary use of a fitness center with separate women’s and men’s saunas, steam rooms, and lounges.

Dining options include sophisticated regional cuisine, casual fare, and a spa menu. Wireless Internet access is complimentary throughout the resort.

What to expect: The Teton Mountain Lodge & Spa faces the slopes of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. The warmly inviting, three-level lobby features a log-beam cathedral ceiling, wrought-iron chandeliers, log pillars, and Oriental rugs on gleaming hardwood floors. Richly hued tapestries and vintage snowshoes are displayed on the walls. Two wood-burning fireplaces lend a warm glow. Guests relax on cushy sofas with faux-fur throws.

Amenity highlights: Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the indoor lap pool and spa tub, providing natural light and commanding mountain views. A soaring cathedral ceiling adds to the sense of spaciousness. Just outside, the year-round lap pool and spa tub are on a terraced deck, with panoramic vistas.

The resort’s Solitude Spa features 10 treatment rooms, including two couples’ rooms with fireplaces and a hydrotherapy room. The resort also offers a large outdoor rooftop spa tub and a health club.

The Cascade Grill House & Spirits showcases New Western cuisine, complemented by views of the Gros Ventre Mountains.

Insider tip: The Jackson Hole Mountain Resort offers complimentary snowshoe tours, led by a Forest Service naturalist, on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays (schedule subject to change).

What to expect: This lodge-style hotel with rustic wooden exterior is tucked against Snow King Mountain. The chairlift and alpine slide are steps from the main building.

Amenity highlights: This Jackson Hole hotel is located at the Snow King Ski & Summer Resort. Activities at this year-round resort include skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating, snow-tubing, hiking, mountain biking, scenic-chairlift rides, an alpine slide, and miniature golf.

Insider tip: At the Bar J Ranch, 11 miles away, a hearty chuckwagon dinner is followed by a music and comedy show starring the Bar J Wranglers—six singing, yodeling, harmonizing, banjo-strumming, guitar-playing cowboys. Popular with families and groups, the Bar J is open Memorial Day weekend through September.

This hotel is located one mile west of Jackson’s historic Town Square and offers mountain-lodge ambiance marked by stonework and peeled beams of lodgepole pine. Elk-antler chandeliers and hand-carved bears underscore the western theme. The entrance to Grand Teton National Park is five miles away and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is 12 miles away.
