What it is

A pampering slopeside ski lodge with year-round heated al fresco pools and myriad adventure exploits.

What it isn't

Rustic. This is the Wyoming of the backwoods free range—where over-the-top luxury meets untrammeled wilderness.

What we think

First time family guests of this resort often decide to make it—almost instantly—an “annual thing.” Where else can you find something for literally everyone? Whether you feel like walking across the street to Jackson Hole Ski Resort, fly-fishing with a local resident expert from a hand-hewn drift boat or stargazing in adjacent Grand Teton National Park with the resort’s very own full-time astronomer? We love that Four Seasons Jackson Hole combine alpine touches (exposed wood and river rock) with urbanite delights (marble-lined bathrooms and easy-start gas fireplaces). Did we mention that gratis amenities include lobby coffee, yoga classes and...s’mores? Yeah, you’re gonna want s’more of this.

You're here because

Four Seasons Jackson Hole has the ultimate snow bunny amenity: a ski concierge who’ll find your perfect fit, and even mind the gear while you refuel fireside with piping hot cocoa. As much as you love to ski—and you do!—it helps when you’re hitting the slopes somewhere that takes the stress out of it for you.

The Moment

Your apres-ski nights of ski booted table dancing are over. Now, apres-ski doesn’t get any better than the Apres-Ski At the Spa treatment—including a flute of Champagne, a Himalayan salt scrub, an arnica and hot stone massage and willow-bark wrap. You’ve never felt better, frankly—and never wanted to hit the slopes again in the morning more.

Location

The heart of Teton Village, literally under the ski slopes (Pooh Bear and Eagle’s Rest, to name the exact runs). Downtown Jackson Hole—home to the infamous antler arch and plenty of can’t-miss boutiques—is just 20 minutes down the road.
