Alpine motor lodge
A cast-iron wood stove warms the timber-clad lobby mercantile, where morning coffee flows and guests gather before heading into the mountains.
“What redeems them completely is the style: custom cast-iron beds, Woolrich blankets, trendy brass light and sink fixtures, parquet flooring with kilim rugs…”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
The Anvil’s appeal is more than skin-deep, what you won’t find here is the clunky plushness of the contemporary ski hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Jackson Town Square sits one block south, placing downtown art galleries, western outfitters, and trailheads to Grand Teton within easy reach.
The rooms
Custom metal bed frames, wool throws, and two-tone wainscoting pair with patinated brass fixtures and dark subway-tiled rain showers.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Glorietta Trattoria
Handmade pastas and wood-fired dishes cook over a central open grill, served with craft cocktails and Italian wines.
New York design firm Studio Tack transformed a motor lodge into a 49-room hotel with a Shaker-inspired mid-century aesthetic, complete with iron bed frames and Woolrich blankets.
How it began

Built as a mid-century motor lodge, the hotel stands on the foundations of founder Harry Brown's 1950s blacksmith shop.
