The Virginian Lodge

Surrounded by towering peaks and a national forest rich in wildlife, and boasting a thriving downtown area, Jackson isn’t your average mountain town, and nearby Jackson Hole Mountain Resort – a world-class skiing area – is one of Wyoming’s most celebrated destinations. Whether you’re here to hit the winter powder or go hiking in the warmer months, first you need a home base, and luckily, Jackson’s accommodation scene stretches beyond the usual cookie-cutter hotels. Here’s our pick of the best boutique hotels in Jackson.

The Virginian Lodge, for the perfect outdoors basecamp

Centrally located in picturesque Jackson Hole in the charming town of Jackson, The Virginian Lodge is the ideal basecamp for visitors to access the world-class outdoor recreation in Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park and The Virginian’s glorious backyard. Jackson Hole is a hotspot for locals and vacationers alike, with a great music scene, local art, Western culture, and a wide range of lively seasonal events for all ages. In the 60s, The Virginian Lodge was a classic, roadside motor lodge, and was later revisited by Outbound Hotels as its first debut property. The property boasts 165 rooms and 20 suites, all newly renovated and feature a cool retro vibe throughout. The Virginian also has a variety of F&B options to choose from such as The Virginian Restaurant (a favorite Jackson breakfast spot) or Billy’s Burgers, and for drinks, The Virginian Saloon and Midtown Liquor, the only drive-thru liquor store in Jackson.

Amangani, for unbridled luxury with Snake River Valley views

Resort, Lodge

The snow-capped mountains and plains of the Snake River Valley are the postcard-perfect setting for Amangani, and taking it all in from the extraordinary 115ft (35m) heated outdoor pool and hot tub is the kind of unforgettable experience for which Aman Resorts is known. Those same framed mountain views form the centerpiece of the resort’s suites, where high ceilings, balconies and large picture windows do the heavy lifting while you wrap yourself in a faux-wolf throw and settle into a woven cowhide chair or window-side daybed. This is the Jackson Hole of Kanye West, Brad Pitt and Tiger Woods!

Wyoming Inn, for wildlife art lovers

The Wyoming Inn is all hands on the Western luxury deck, calling on a marriage of stone and wood that instills a heightened sense of mountain mania among its common areas and 69 rooms and suites. Paired with one of the world’s largest private collections of famed wildlife photographer Thomas Mangelsen’s work (along with other wildlife art and bronzes by numerous Western artists), there’s no doubt you’re sleeping among the Tetons. Whether you’re gnawing on a Rocky Mountain elk tenderloin at the Whistling Grizzly restaurant or sinking into overstuffed leather chairs in your room, way out West fantasies are exaggeratedly catered to with alpine-sized aplomb.

The White Buffalo Club, for steak- and spa-loving skiers

This upscale Jackson hotel offers the intimacy of a boutique with the kind of amenities and infrastructure normally reserved for much bigger hotels. Jackson Hole’s only USDA Prime Steakhouse, a fully equipped fitness center, a full-service spa, a ski valet and a concierge are just some of the services and conveniences that serve an inventory of just 17 rooms. Spacious rooms skew more motel typical than boutique, but are outfitted in rich leather, wood and natural stone finishes, corralling that much sought-after mountain vibe. Sitting just three blocks from Jackson’s charming Town Square, you’re never more than a horseshoe’s toss from the action, either.

Alpine House, for Alpine lodgings and Italian and Swiss cuisine

Just off the Town Square in Jackson – often called the best little mountain town in the world – the Alpine House stays true to its name, offering bucolic Teton hospitality across 22 elegant European-style lodge rooms. From in-floor tile heat in the rooms to a Finnish sauna and garden lounge, guests need not fret over a lack of warm and fuzzy coziness regardless of season. Wood-fired cooking at the in-house Glorietta Trattoria offers Italian and Swiss-inspired Alpine dishes forged from local provisions, rounding out a complete retreat package that bowls guests over with homey mountain magic.

The Cloudveil, for rustic vibes and Parisian bistro fare

Rustic-accented mountain vibes are infused throughout this modern boutique hotel in Jackson Hole, offering wilderness refined in a cozy environment that values blending in with the natural surroundings. Inside the rooms and suites, a polished Western design prevails, with custom wood and leather furnishings that lean towards mid-century-modern, mountain-inspired artwork from local artists and cozy fireplaces, all decked out in warm, neutral palettes that seamlessly merge with the mountain scenery outside the windows. It’s hard to beat capping off a day on the slopes with an exquisite duck confit with huckleberry bison sausage and cannellini bean cassoulet at the Parisian bistro-inspired restaurant, too. Cuddle up, cowboy!

Bentwood Inn, for eco-friendly log cabin luxury

Jackson Hole’s Brentwood Inn is the epitome of log cabin luxe with an eco-edge – the gorgeous structure was constructed from massive 200-year-old reclaimed logs from Yellowstone National Park’s great fire of 1988. Five unique rooms typify the cabin in the woods experience, with design touches like snowshoes, fishing creels, English antiques and lodgepole ladders complementing luxurious amenities like tailored down-filled duvets and extravagant linens.

Spring Creek Ranch, for an on-site wildlife sanctuary
