Each spring, Jackson Hole proudly tips its hat to the past with Old West Days—a weeklong celebration of Western heritage, cowboy culture, and the vibrant spirit that shaped this one-of-a-kind destination. From rodeos and parades to live music and local lore, the streets come alive with tradition. And what better way to experience it all than by staying at a property deeply rooted in the history of Jackson Hole?
To truly experience Old West Days, you’ll want to stay somewhere that reflects the spirit of the celebration.
The Wort Hotel
Where Old West Days began.
In the heart of downtown Jackson, The Wort Hotel blends historic charm with timeless character. As the town’s only historic hotel, it has long been a symbol of Jackson Hole’s unique spirit. Built in 1941 and restored after a major fire in 1980, The Wort is more than just a place to stay—it’s part of the town’s story.
Old West Days itself traces its roots to this very property. The first festival in 1981 celebrated The Wort’s grand reopening, tying the hotel directly to the origins of the event. Today, The Wort remains a proud part of the celebration, keeping the tradition alive each year.
Inside, you’ll find a rich blend of Western art, cozy elegance, and a deep connection to the community. Just steps from the Town Square and the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar, guests are perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of Old West Days—from parades and live music to local shopping and iconic Jackson photo ops.
The Wort invites you to relax, explore, and become part of the story that’s defined Jackson for generations.
The Virginian Lodge
A fresh take on a longtime favorite
Since 1965, The Virginian Lodge has welcomed travelers with comfort, character, and a down-to-earth Western vibe. Known affectionately to locals as "The Virg" this property has long been a gathering place where stories are shared, boots are dusty, and the spirit of Jackson Hole is alive and well.
Following a recent renovation, The Virginian has been thoughtfully refreshed—modernized where it counts, but still grounded in the same local charm and community spirit that made it a classic. Today, it blends retro-cool style with rustic touches, creating a welcoming space that feels both new and nostalgic.
The on-site saloon is a local favorite, especially during Old West Days, when the lodge comes alive with visitors swapping stories over cold drinks after a day of chili tastings, and cowboy fun. Whether you’re relaxing by the fire pits or heading out to explore Town Square, The Virginian puts you close to all the action.
It’s a place to connect, kick back, and soak in the stories—past and present—that make Jackson Hole unforgettable.
Hotel Jackson
Luxury rooted in legacy
Locally owned and family operated, Hotel Jackson reflects the values that make this valley so special—authenticity, sustainability, and a deep respect for local heritage. It’s a modern take on the Western experience, where thoughtful design meets elevated comfort.
The hotel’s architecture blends reclaimed wood, sleek lines, and curated Western art to create a space that feels both timeless and forward-thinking. Guests can unwind in luxury while still feeling deeply connected to the character of Jackson Hole.
During Old West Days, Hotel Jackson offers a refined home base just steps from the action—including the ever-popular Brewfest, where the spirit of the West pairs perfectly with craft beer and local flavor. Whether you're strolling through Town Square, attending live music events, or joining the festivities outside your door, the hotel’s central location puts it all within easy reach.
It’s ideal for travelers who want to celebrate heritage without giving up comfort—where the past and future of Jackson meet in style.
Cowboy Village Resort
Where Western hospitality feels like home
Cowboy Village Resort is a collection of authentic log cabins nestled just a few blocks from the heart of downtown Jackson. It’s a place where the rustic charm of the West meets the warmth of long-standing traditions—and where visitors are welcomed like family.
As the team at Cowboy Village puts it, "We share the love and hospitality of the valley that has been shared through generations of friends and family." That spirit comes alive during Old West Days, when the resort becomes a cozy home base for guests eager to experience Jackson Hole’s most iconic celebration.
