Downtown Jackson's most intimate boutique lodge — 34 rooms, a residential feel, and a spa that rivals any in town. Two blocks from Town Square; service well above its price point.
Why We Chose It
The Rusty Parrot is the kind of hotel that attracts the same guests for 20 years because it understands what hospitality actually requires at a human scale. The 31 rooms are individually furnished — no two identical — in a warm Western style that avoids both the corporate blandness of brand hotels and the forced rusticity of lodge chains. Wild Sage, the hotel's restaurant, is a Jackson institution: Chef Hugo Goodwin sources 98 percent of the menu's ingredients in-season from local producers between June and September, and the result is a cooking that reflects this valley at this time of year in a way that menus importing ingredients from national distributors cannot match. The bluefin tuna tasting menu is a Thursday tradition; the huckleberry preparations appear throughout summer in multiple guises. The spa is intimate and excellent. The hotel is two blocks from Town Square but positioned on a quieter residential street that shields it from the square's tourist energy.
What Stands Out
- Wild Sage restaurant: 98% locally sourced in season — the most ingredient-committed kitchen in Jackson Hole
- Huckleberry preparations in summer: the valley's most characteristically Wyoming seasonal dishes
- 31 individually decorated rooms — no two identical, warm Western character without forced rusticity
- Two blocks from Town Square on a quiet residential street — the intimacy of a private home with hotel service
- Spa: intimate and excellent — among the best wellness programs for a small boutique property
