What to expect: Perched on Gros Ventre Butte, 1,000 feet above the Jackson Hole valley, this ranch resort is on a 1,000-acre wildlife refuge facing the jagged Grand Teton peaks. The resort caters to affluent outdoor enthusiasts who are drawn by the views and the peaceful, natural setting.

Amenity highlights: The Granary, the hotel’s acclaimed restaurant, serves creative Western cuisine accompanied by views of the Tetons. The on-site Western Riding Center offers trail rides through spectacular scenery. The hotel has two tennis courts and a seasonal outdoor lap pool; a spa tub sheltered by aspens adjoins a pond with a waterfall.

Insider tip: Granite Hot Springs, situated at an elevation of 7,000 feet in the Gros Ventre Mountains, offers natural beauty and a mineral-water soaking pool heated to 103–108 degrees. The springs, about one hour from the hotel, are accessible via snowmobile in winter and via car in summer, with a dirt road toward the end. The resort’s concierge can assist with directions and transportation.
