Hotel Jackson is Jackson Hole’s newest four-diamond property, located in the heart of historic downtown. The modern hotel, which replaces the original Hotel Jackson built in the 1800s, uses organic materials in combination with modern materials like steel, glass, and iron. The building connects with the town’s heritage through its scale, design and material selection. A project goal of LEED Certification — the country’s most recognized seal of approval for green buildings — is being achieved through the use of natural materials, living roofs, and site selection criteria.  

Working with the Town of Jackson Planning and Zoning Department and the owner/developer, FFKR Architects helped to maximize every available inch of space within a tight building envelope. One solution to address the tight site was to increase the underground parking garage depth to accommodate vertical car storage for 42 cars, thus fulfilling site parking requirements.

The 46,000-square-foot hotel is the first of two phases. The first phase consists of 60 lodging units, each with a private fireplace and views of the surrounding area, including four suites with private patios and two parlor units with small kitchens. The second phase will provide additional rooms, conference rooms, and retail spaces. Lower-level rooms open onto one of two sunken garden areas, while top-floor rooms all have private balconies. A main kitchen supports a fine-dining service and 24-hour room service. The main lounge provides an intimate gathering area accented by a two-story stone wood burning fireplace. It also serves as overflow seating for the adjacent bar and kitchen area.
