The hotel’s character is executed through rich textures, intricate details and an attention to quality craftsmanship. Designed in collaboration with the Brooklyn-based firm, Studio Tack, alongside hotelier Erik Warner, the 50-room boutique accommodation lends itself to an aesthetic that is similar to the Shaker homes with a space that is restrained and uncomplicated. The Anvil is centrally located in the town of Jackson, Wyoming a town home to world-class dining, theatres, art galleries, shopping boutiques and of course, an abundance of outdoor action activities.Īnvil Hotel opened earlier this year to much acclaim. He’ll also steer you right if you’re looking for a good breakfast spot (Lotus, down the block), or an unusual mountain sushi resto (King Sushi).īottom line: worth it, and why? For stylish rooms and a cozy lobby (plus, you're within walking distance from everything), the price is right-and you can put up with a little noise from your neighbor.If you’re thinking of planning your next ski holiday, or like the idea of being cosied up in front of a fire with a hot cup of cocoa this winter, then The Anvil Hotel is the place for you. His enthusiasm for Jackson Hole is infectious, and he can rattle off all of the OG legends of adrenaline sports who live there, from snowboarder Travis Rice and extreme skiing pioneer Doug Coombs, to climbing-school founders Paul Petzoldt and Glenn Exum. Staff: If you could award one a trophy, who gets it, and why? Arlen, the kid working reception. The grilled artichoke with chili salt and aioli and whole bronizno in coconut broth were excellent, especially washed down with a craft cocktail (I’d plug the Perma Grin, with Blanco tequila, grilled pineapple, lime juice and smoked salt) dreamed up by the team behind New York City’s Death & Co.
