Situated at the gateway to the Grand Teton National Park and one hour south of Yellowstone National Park, this Autograph Collection Hotel is the only hotel in Jackson’s town square and serves as the perfect hub for ski fanatics. The Cloudveil boasts a premium partnership with Black Tie Ski Valet, allowing guests to place orders for skis, poles, snowboards, boots and helmets prior to arrival. The hotel’s personal ski concierge ensures guests have a seamless ski experience and, as an added bonus, Black Tie transports guests’ gear to the hotel’s exclusive Ski Chalet at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

 

The hotel also features outdoor-savvy concierges known as Pathfinders, who craft the perfect itinerary. Guests can also learn about the local wildlife, ecology, history and geology of the area in the nearby national parks with Jackson Hole EcoTours. And, new this year, the hotel is proud to unveil an exclusive collaboration with luxury hatmaker JW Bennet to debut The Cloudveil Collection.
