Whether you seek grand landmarks or small, family-run gems, you can trust Forbes Travel Guide’s exclusive list — we have been rating hotels since 1958 using an objective and independent process. To find the best hotels in Jackson Hole, our incognito inspectors posed as ordinary guests and stayed multiple nights at each property. The inspectors tested hundreds of exacting standards, with an emphasis on exceptional service, which accounts for 70 percent of a property’s rating. The remaining 30 percent comes from the quality and condition of the facilities. FTG does not require a business relationship from the properties it rates, and it does not earn a commission if you book one of the following hotels.

Laid-back Western style is paired with big-city attention to detail in the full-service Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole, set amid the natural beauty of the Teton Mountains.

But even when there’s no snow in the forecast, you can reward yourself after a day of shopping or fly-fishing with a meal at the cozy Westbank Grill, where local specialties such as elk osso buco and Utah lamb two ways fill the menu. In between outings, stop by the hotel’s Four-Star spa for some well-earned pampering. See more.

Steps away from Jackson’s lively town square, deep in the urban core, Hotel Jackson blends bright, light-filled spaces with rustic mountain accents in a prime location.
A local family opened the hotel in 2015, seeking to share the beauty and vitality of its beloved Jackson. Stacked stone, rusted metal and reclaimed barn wood create a clever, multi-textural aesthetic throughout the building, and the owners lovingly handpicked much of the décor — from the original Western-themed art in the lobby to the chic chandeliers in the Mediterranean-inspired Figs restaurant.
If you love textural contemporary style, hip Hotel Jackson makes an ideal mountain base in the heart of downtown. See more.
