The Wort Hotel

The Wort Hotel is Jackson's founding luxury address and the most authentically Western property in the market, a 55-room independently owned landmark that opened in 1941 as the first luxury hotel in the valley, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, and has spent more than 80 years accumulating the kind of lived-in institutional character that no new-build can manufacture. The Silver Dollar Bar, added in 1950 with 2,032 uncirculated 1921 silver dollars embedded in its surface, remains one of the most genuinely distinctive hotel bars in the American West, hosting live music most nights and offering complimentary entry for hotel guests to the adjacent Million Dollar Cowboy Bar, also owned by the property. With 4,000 square feet of meeting space across four rooms including the 1,430-square-foot Jackson Room, the Wort is best scaled for small board meetings, executive retreats, and intimate group buyouts of up to 35 rooms during peak season, where the independently owned model means individual attention from a locally knowledgeable sales team rather than a brand-standardized experience. Half a block from the Town Square and 12 minutes from Jackson Hole Airport, the location gives groups immediate access to everything the destination has to offer without the 20-minute drive to Teton Village.
