The Vibe: A revamped motel, Mountain Modern in Jackson, Wyoming fuses Wild West elements with functional design.

The Area: Located two blocks from Jackson’s town square, and a short drive from Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and even closer to the town’s own Snow King.

The DNA: An excellent example of two industries which needed an overhaul: the motel and the outdoor/adventure travel business. Mountain Modern rooms come with ample spaces for gear and feature Buffalo-plaid blankets, leather chairs, and natural wood furnishings creating a timeless design scheme. Landscape photography and oversize trail maps serve as guestroom wallcoverings, evoking the rich natural features of the Grand Teton backcountry. The hotel has two restaurants, one BBQ  and one Chinese plus a lobby café. There is a bike and gear repair station and self laundry. Indoor pool and on-site hair and spa salon.

Suite-Me-Up: The newly renovated, multi-level, residential style two bedroom suites sleep up to 8. The first floor features a kitchen, 1/2 bath, living room with queen sized sofa sleeper, fireplace, and private balcony. Head upstairs and the suites offer a master bedroom with king bed and full bathroom, and a second bedroom with two queen beds and full bathroom.
