Best Hotel Bets
Old Faithful Inn (Yellowstone National Park; tel. 307/344-7311; www.travelyellowstone.com): If you ever wonder whether there's really art in architecture, look at the way the rustic simplicity and monumental structure of this inn make a perfect fit just across the way from one of nature's most astonishing creations. A lattice of logs climbs to an 85-foot ceiling. You can find peace in the upper balconies, or join the convivial crowds around the big stone fireplace below.
Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole (Jackson; tel. 307/732-5000; www.fourseasons.com/jacksonhole): The newest -- and most deluxe -- lodging option in Teton Village, the ultrastylish Four Seasons opened in December 2004 and immediately set a new standard for ski-in, ski-out luxury.
Jenny Lake Lodge (Grand Teton National Park; tel. 800/628-9988; www.gtlc.com): My favorite property in any national park, this lodge justifiably prides itself on seclusion, award-winning food, and the individual attention that comes with a cabin resort kept intentionally small. The property is a hybrid of mountain-lake resort and dude ranch, with various extras included in its prices.
The Chamberlin Inn (Cody; tel. 888/587-0202; www.chamberlininn.com): Centered on a serene and green courtyard, the new and improved Chamberlin Inn is now Cody's best lodging option, just a block from the center of town and featuring charming historic rooms and apartment units. Of special note is the Hemingway Suite -- "Papa" stayed here in 1932.
The Occidental Hotel (Buffalo; tel. 307/684-0451; www.occidentalwyoming.com): Born as a tent in 1878, The Occidental has burned to the ground and been lost in a poker game in its storied history. After 8 years and a $1.8-million restoration, the grand hotel reopened in 2002.
