In Jackson, Wyoming: The Wort Hotel (tel. 307/733-2190) is a downtown Jackson landmark with comfortable "New West"-style rooms; it's also a good value for its downtown location. In nearby Wilson, I love the wooded whimsy of A Teton Treehouse (tel. 307/733-3233), a B&B located 95 steps from the road up a forested hillside where flying squirrels glide in the canopy.
In Gardiner, Montana: The Absaroka Lodge (tel. 800/755-7414) has modern rooms and decks overlooking the Yellowstone River, near the center of town.
In West Yellowstone, Montana: Sleek and opulent, but definitively Western, the newly renovated lodge rooms and cabins at the Bar N Ranch (tel. 406/646-0300) are the most distinctive lodgings in the chain-dominated town. Another pick: Moose Creek Cabins (tel. 406/646-9546) is a good value and one of the better maintained properties in town with cabins (good for families) and cabin-style motel rooms with queen beds.
In Cody, Wyoming: Centered on a serene and green courtyard, the new-and-improved Chamberlin Inn (tel. 888/587-0202) features charming historic rooms and apartment units. The Cody (tel. 307/587-5915) became the top modern hotel in the town of its name when it opened in 2008. Located on the west end of town, the hotel has a colorful, thoroughly Western-chic design in both the common areas and the spacious guest rooms.
