Studios, which don't cost much more than the standard rooms, include a fireplace, a kitchen, and a seating area.

You can sip a drink in the Silver Dollar Bar and Grill—aptly named for the 2,032 silver dollars embedded on top of the bar—or amble through swinging doors into the restaurant for a fine meal.

From the moment you enter its ground-floor "salon," this hotel soothes the soul with vintage furniture and black-and-white photographs showing the rise of east Jackson.

In winter, the outdoor ice bar is a happening après-ski spot where locals and guests mingle.
