Hotel Jackson 

For a luxurious stay that’s comfortable, convenient and a major treat, look no further than Hotel Jackson. Featuring sleek yet rustic décor, this LEED-built boutique hotel is run by a family that’s lived in the valley for over 40 years. With 55 guest rooms to choose from and a two-story fireplace that warms the common spaces, Hotel Jackson is the perfect mainstay for all your Jackson Hole activities.

Rustic Inn Creekside Resort and Spa at Jackson Hole

Completely commit to a Western experience with this hotel located on a 14 acre property not far from Jackson Hole’s Town Square. Not only do they offer fabulous amenities such as seasonal wildlife safaris and national park tours, but in 2012 the resort began a conservation effort for the comfort of their guests and home. They acquired land along Flat Creek and Saddle Buttee and worked with local and national organizations to carefully restore the natural vegetation, water flow, and add The Wetlands Walk so guests can explore and enjoy the great outdoors without having a negative impact on it.

The Cloudveil

This Autograph Collection hotel combines bright modern features with cozy touches such as wood paneling, leather furniture and lots of fireplaces. Throughout the rooms and common spaces, the hotel also houses work from local artists to support and celebrate the city’s culture in style.  

 Amangani

For a truly special experience, the Amangani offers a cool, tranquil space located in the foothills of the Grand Tetons. You can unwind with a Himalayan salt scrub at the Wellness Centre or enjoy a sustainable, farm-to-table meal at The Grill, which overlooks the Snake River Valley and Teton peaks thanks to the dining room’s floor-to-ceiling windows. No matter how you decide to spend your time here, we promise you it’ll leave you refreshed and rejuvenated.  

Whether you’re visiting in the summer or winter, the point of Jackson Hole is simple: Get outside and embrace the vast, stunning landscape. 

If you’re visiting Jackson Hole in the winter, skiing is a non-negotiable. Jackson has long been one of the top skiing destinations in the country and only continues to grow in popularity. The main mountain is the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, which offers over 2,500 acres of skiing for all levels of visitors.

There’s no denying there are a lot — we mean, a lot! —of great spa experiences in Jackson Hole, but SpaTerre has been ranked as one of the best in the world. Between the eucalyptus-infused steam rooms, the oxygen bar, and the salt chamber, you’ll find it hard to know where to begin! No matter what treatments you choose, though, we also recommend checking out the rooftop hot tub that overlooks the ski slopes.   

If you’re planning on renting a car, the southeast entrance of Yellowstone National Park is about 60 miles from Jackson. America’s first and finest national park, you can check out the wildlife and breathtaking views, both of which will make the hour drive 100 percent worth it.

The one-of-a-kind mountainous landscape just calls for some good old fashioned hiking, especially if you’re visiting in the spring or summer months. Grand Tetons National Park boasts some of the most popular trails including Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point.

What better place to go horseback riding than the wild west? It’s a fun way to take in the scenery while indulging in the culture of the area. Spring Creek Ranch offers 1-2 hour tour rides along the East Gros Ventre Butte to enjoy views of the Teton Range and the town of Jackson.

Whether you spent the day at the spa or shredding the slopes, you’ve probably worked up an appetite. Here are some of the best spots in town to grab a bite.

Cultivate Cafe

This organic café, coffee shop and bakery serves breakfast and lunch Tuesday through Saturday. The juice and smoothie menu is as impressive as breakfast and lunch options, making it a great place to stop by before heading off on your chosen adventure for the day.

Bin22

Great for groups who like to try a little bit of everything, this tapas style restaurant has lots of great vegan and vegetarian options that are as clean as they are delicious. No matter what you order, though, the staff will know exactly what wine to pair with your meal, offering a wonderful experience. 

Snake River Grill

This farm-to-table eatery is a Jackson Hole staple, featuring a log cabin atmosphere and new American style dishes. Also to be admired is its commitment to sustainability. For example, they recycle used fryer oil into biodiesel and utilize wind power generated electricity for the entire restaurant’s lighting.

To ensure you’re prepared for all the great outdoor adventures Jackson Hole has to offer, we’ve rounded a few items you’ll probably want to add to your packing list.

Now that you have all the best places to eat, stay and play in the modern wild west of Jackson Hole, you’re all set to enjoy the adventure trip of a lifetime!
