Finding a Hotel in Jackson, WY
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for Jackson, WY, Wyoming.
Regardless of the reason one is visiting Jackson, Wyoming —and there are plenty of good ones, such as skiing and snowboarding on the winter snow, biking, hiking and fishing when the white stuff melts and the temperatures rise or taking in the traditions of this Old Wild West town—there is a wide range of accommodation styles available to suit the needs of every visitor. Hotels and motels with mountain views sit on the outer edges of the town for those wanting to see the peaks from their windows or balconies and there are numerous lodgings in the town center for those wanting to stay close to trendy shops and restaurants.
Jackson (not to be confused with Jackson Hole Ski Resort, which is about 12 mi (19 km) to the north in the small mountain town of Teton Village) is located about 275 (442 km) north of Salt Lake City, Utah and close to Wyoming’s border with Idaho to the west. The area is served by Jackson Hole Airport, which sits to the north of Jackson and visitors to the area can choose to stay in the center of the historic Wild West town or a little farther out of the city.
STAYING IN THE CENTER OF JACKSON
There is a concentration of places to rest one’s head near Town Square in the heart of Jackson that range from large hotels with conferencing facilities, swimming pools and saunas to many smaller and cozy homey choices that have a more personal feel to them. Those looking for accommodations that provide a traditional Wild West feel will not be disappointed as there are a number of Western-themed options, including a historic inn and country-style lodge. The Wort, which dates from the 1940s, has a unique history in the town center and provides special upscale theme suites with names like Cowboy, Cowgirl and Shoshone, as well as other regular upmarket rooms.
Downtown Jackson has a large range of upmarket, mid-range and budget hotels and motels that are spread along and around the junction of Cache Street and Broadway. There are well over 20 choices in this area and visitors will find one or two large chain hotels, like the Quality Inn. There are also many locally owned independent properties, such as the luxurious Rusty Parrot Lodge, which has rooms with whirlpool baths and an on-site spa. Mid-range options are available too, like the Painted Buffalo Inn, which has an indoor heated swimming pool.
BROADWAY
The density of options diminish in number along Broadway as one travels south out of town. Hotels and motels located here are farther away from the airport and Jackson Hole Ski Resort than those in the center of town. These properties might be a preferred option for those seeking quieter, more away-from-it-all stays, and include facilities like swimming pools, business center services, spa tubs and kitchenette-style accommodations.
SKI AREA
If one is looking for hotels or motels near the ski area, including ski in-ski out places, then the lodgings at Teton Village will fit the bill. Here there are several upscale luxurious options with roof-top open-air hot tubs, indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools and full service spas.
