Hotels in Jackson

Inn on The Creek sits along Flat Creek, three blocks from the Jackson Hole town square, and it felt cosy from the moment we walked in. The kids lived for the fresh-baked cookies every afternoon, and the hot breakfast set us up for the slopes. Our room had a spa bath, a lovely way to thaw out after skiing. Evenings by the lounge fireplace were peaceful, and ski storage made life easy. A 9.8 for good reason.

The Rusty Parrot Lodge and Spa is the Jackson address I recommend to skiers who want comfort after the slopes. Its full-service spa with a hot tub handles tired legs, ski storage is on site, and a fireplace sets the tone for the evening. The Wild Sage restaurant serves local flavours, and rooms have satellite TV and free Wi-Fi. A 9.8 score from 64 reviews is exceptional, so my advice is to book well ahead.

The Cloudveil was a polished, stylish base in Jackson, and it earned its 9.7 from us. Our room had a balcony overlooking town. After skiing, the outdoor pool and hot tub steaming in the cold air were a magical end to the day for the whole family, and the spa and fitness center kept us grown-ups happy. Dinner at the French restaurant was a real treat. Ski storage and the outdoor fireplace added to the comfort.

Hotel Yellowstone is adults-only, and it was the perfect five-star treat for our anniversary trip. Our room had a balcony with mountain views and every modern comfort. The infinity pool was breathtaking, and we spent long afternoons between the spa, sauna and fitness centre after skiing. Dinner in the romantic restaurant followed by a drink on the terrace became our nightly ritual. Refined, peaceful and worth every penny.

Homewood Suites felt like a home away from home for our family of five. Our suite had a full kitchen and a fireplace, which made cosy evenings in easy after skiing. The kids spent every afternoon in the indoor pool while we soaked in the hot tub, and the fitness center was handy. The daily buffet breakfast and on-site minimarket kept costs down, and Grand Teton National Park is close by. A 9.5 we'd happily back.

The Wort Hotel blends Old West character with modern comfort, and our kids were fascinated by the history the moment we walked in. The free shuttle to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort made ski days effortless. Our room had custom furniture and original artwork, which felt special. After the slopes, the pool and jacuzzi were family time, and the Silver Dollar Bar and Grill served up hearty local fare. Memorable and charming.

Hotel Jackson is less than five minutes' walk from the historic Town Square, so evenings with the kids meant strolling under the antler arches for dinner. Our room had a gas fireplace, which made it feel cosy after cold days on the mountain, and great mountain views. The outdoor hot tub under the stars was a family favourite, and we also enjoyed the spa. With two restaurants on site and ski storage, logistics were easy.

The Sylvan Lodge at Snake River Sporting Club is the address I recommend in Jackson for families who want resort facilities in a mountain setting. Family rooms have balconies with mountain views, air-conditioning and free WiFi. The infinity pool, spa facilities, fitness centre and sun terrace cover the time off the slopes, and the family-friendly restaurant serves American cuisine with options for various diets. My advice: choose it for the facilities, and plan the drive to the ski areas.

Wyoming Inn of Jackson Hole is the Jackson address I recommend to travellers who want a classic Western-style stay with real comfort. The lobby fireplace sets the mood, rooms are spacious with free WiFi, and the gym is well equipped. After a day in Jackson Hole, the spa and wellness area, with a pool and a jacuzzi, is the place to recover. It has a romantic atmosphere that suits couples, and it scores 9.1 from 738 reviews.

The Rockwell Inn sits a few blocks from Jackson's historic town square, and the winter transfer to the ski resort meant we didn't have to drive or park each morning. Our suite had a kitchen, handy for packed lunches and early dinners with the kids. The daily breakfast buffet was generous, and the indoor pool and hot tub were where we all ended up after skiing. Comfortable, convenient and great value for families.

The Elk Refuge Inn is a two-star in Jackson with views over the National Elk Refuge, and I would book it for families who want wildlife on the doorstep more than hotel facilities. Some rooms have private balconies, worth asking for given the outlook. Jackson Square Shopping Center is two miles away, Grand Teton National Park is a short drive, and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is 13 miles off, so plan to drive to the slopes. Guests rate it 8.8.

The Lodge at Jackson Hole is a four-star rustic-style lodge, and I recommend it to families mainly for its indoor/outdoor connecting pool, which lets children swim from inside to outside. The hot tub suits parents in the evening, rooms have mountain views, and the full breakfast buffet starts the day well. A deli on site helps with snacks and picnic supplies, a lounge gives everyone a place to gather, and ski storage is provided. Guests rate it 8.6 across 664 reviews.

SpringHill Suites gave us a comfortable, modern room with free WiFi and plenty of space for the kids to unwind. The pool with a view was where they spent every late afternoon, while we took turns in the hot tub. After dinner, the outdoor fireplace and lounge were our favourite spot to sit wrapped up with a hot drink. The fitness center and sun terrace were bonuses. Dependable, relaxed and handy for exploring Jackson.

Parkway Inn was an easy, comfortable choice for our family. Historic downtown Jackson is a short walk away, so we strolled to dinner and the shops each evening without the car. After the slopes, the kids headed straight for the indoor pool while we soaked in the hot tub, and the spa offered a quiet moment for us. Ski storage kept boots and skis out of the room. Friendly, well located and good value for Jackson.

Flat Creek Inn is a two-star in Jackson with views of the National Elk Refuge, and I suggest it to families who want a practical, self-sufficient base. Rooms have a microwave, fridge and coffee maker, which covers breakfasts and snacks. A convenience store, gas station and guest launderette are on site, the launderette being useful for wet ski gear. Jackson town centre and Grand Teton National Park are a short drive away. Guests rate it 8.3 across 1,594 reviews.

The White Buffalo Club offered an alpine luxury feel with warm wooden accents, and the in-room laundry was a surprising lifesaver for a family going through ski layers daily. After skiing, I booked a massage at the spa while the kids rested with free WiFi. Dinner at the on-site steakhouse was a highlight, with an impressive wine list for us and hearty plates for hungry teens. Comfortable and refined.

Hampton Inn Jackson Hole was a reliable, comfortable base for our family. The complimentary hot breakfast saved us time and money every morning before the 15-minute drive to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. After skiing, the indoor hot tub was exactly what our legs needed, and my husband used the gym. Jackson's historic Town Square is just two miles away, perfect for an evening stroll and dinner. Easy and dependable.

The Jackson SouthTown is a simple, family-friendly motel, and for our budget ski trip it did the job well. Snow King Resort is a short drive away, which was perfect for the kids' first days on skis. Our room had cable TV, a microwave and a fridge, so breakfast and snacks were easy. The guest launderette saved us when the ski clothes got soaked. The outdoor pool is for summer, but we'll be back. No frills, honest value.
