I Stayed At A 5-star Four Seasons Hotel In Jackson Hole, Wyoming. My $1,000-a-night Room Was A Skier's Sanctuary.
The author's guest room at the Four Seasons Jackson Hole resort starts at about $1,000 during the winter ski season.

- I recently stayed at the Four Seasons Jackson Hole, a luxury ski-in, ski-out resort.
- My 550-square-foot room had a private balcony overlooking the slopes.
- I thought the room's luxury cabin vibe seemed like an ideal accommodation for a skier.
If I ever take a ski trip, I want to retire to a cozy room with cabin vibes and luxury touches. Ideally, it would be in a slopeside, five-star hotel.
Perhaps the Four Seasons Jackson Hole would fit the bill. In September, I spent one night at the ski-in, ski-out resort.
Although the mountains were not yet covered in snow, my room — which has a starting rate of nearly $1,000 a night during the winter ski season — seemed like a peaceful place to rest after an active day of gliding through powder.

The 63-year-old hotel chain has a luxurious reputation and 133 locations worldwide, each designed to reflect its destination.
"There's a sense of place at every Four Seasons," Kim Cole, the director of public relations for the Four Seasons, told Business Insider.
Cole added that the company describes the Jackson Hole location's aesthetic as "modern mountain chic," catering to hikers, bicyclists, and skiers in the winter.

The hotel has 106 guest rooms and 18 suites. The starting rate is $525 in the offseason and $995 in the peak winter season. BI received a media rate for a one-night stay.
There are also 31 Resort Residences on-site, built to serve large groups. These residences have kitchens and as many as five bedrooms. Starting prices range from $4,200 to $11,000, depending on the season.
Cole told BI that in the winter, guest rooms are typically booked with active guests who participate in winter sports, so I imagined how the room would feel as a skier.

My room had a king-sized bed, a full bathroom, and a private balcony.
Renovated by Wimberly Interiors in 2022, the guest rooms were designed to bring the outside in, with metal accents, stone finishings, and a soft, earth-toned color palette. This nature-inspired trend, known as biophilic design, gained traction in 2024.
The bed was plush with warm, fluffy bedding and dense pillows.The guest room's king-sized bed.

The king-sized bed sat between mixed material nightstands with edgy lamps contrasting classic wooden shutters.
With one king-sized bed, the room sleeps up to three adults (or two adults and one kid). The room can also be arranged with two double beds, increasing the maximum occupancy to four adults (or two adults and two kids).
The nature-inspired headboard was a mesmerizing statement piece.A close-up of the headboard.

The headboard was the standout piece in the room. A cherry wood frame juxtaposed a bright, white image, giving it a midcentury modern look.
The image was a textured carving of trees that I could feel when I brushed my fingers over the branches. A light bar glowed beneath the board, making it easier to see the details of the monochrome image.
The bed was so comfy that I didn't want to get up — and with smart controls on the in-room tablet, I didn't have to.The tablet had a stand beside the bed.

The tablet on the nightstand served as the room's control center, commanding everything from the TV to room service. This amenity was added in the 2022 remodel.
The tablet would be especially handy after an exhausting day on the slopes.
The other nightstand held an eclectic shelf of books with a warm white color palette.Books line the bottom shelf of a nightstand.

Few things are more relaxing on a snow day than cozying up with a good book.
Luckily, my room had a small selection of biographies, historical literature, and novels ranging from realistic fiction to young-adult fantasy.
Publishing dates for these books ranged from 2003 to 2020, but I thought they looked much older. They were all sleeveless with a white or off-white binding.
Across from the bed, a large TV was mounted above a stone fireplace.A view of the room from the bed.

Rustic drawers were to the left of the fireplace, while a modern sitting area was on the right.
I noticed all the seating in my room was soft and cushy, which seemed ideal for sore bodies after an active day.
The room also had a private bar with gold trimmings.The bar and its offerings.

The bar had an espresso machine, neutral-toned ceramic mugs, and Four Seasons branded water.
Beneath the bar, a cabinet hid the mini-fridge. It was stocked with alcohol and snacks like peanut M&Ms and gummy bears, which were available for an extra cost.
In the marble bathroom, the oversize tub had a bendy shower head that made me feel like I was in a spa.The tub on one side of the bathoom.

The bathroom had complimentary Le Labo toiletries.

Across from the bathroom, a spacious walk-in closet held bathrobes, a safe, and some classic, upscale amenities I've only seen in ultra-luxury hotels.Inside the walk-in closet.

I spotted old-school amenities like a shoe horn and shine brush, which I've seen more often in high-end European accommodations than in the US.
The ample size of the bathroom and closet made the room suitable for up to four guests.

I spent some time on the deck, but since I imagined it would be less enjoyable in the cold, I appreciated that there were sliding glass doors to enjoy the view without the low temperatures.

From the balcony, I spotted the slopes towering over the resort's courtyard.
Looking down, I pictured the green courtyard in a blanket of snow as bundled-up skiers got their bearings before hitting the slopes.
