 Homesteader Charles J. Wort (pronounced "wirt") arrived in Jackson Hole in 1893, working the land like any other number of pioneers. In 1941 his sons, John and Jess, took local pioneering to a new level, building a luxury hotel—a ridiculous notion to many local ranchers and residents—on four lots that their father had purchased in 1915. The Wort Hotel, with its Tudor Revival architecture and rustic interiors, immediately became the central gathering place for locals and a destination for visitors.
The Wort is located only steps from Jackson Hole's historic town square and the finest boutiques, shops, restaurants and galleries that make Jackson Hole a favored national and international destination. Restored following a fire in 1980, the hotel now boasts spacious guest rooms and suites, each individually appointed, including the warm New West decor, which is accented with authentic Western and Indian motifs. And its famous saloon—the Silver Dollar Bar—features 2,032 uncirculated 1921 silver dollars inlaid in the serpentine bar. Such details inspire the charm and intimacy of a fine country inn, but in every way that matters the Wort provides the exceptional service of a grand hotel, from its on-site fitness room to high speed Wi-Fi Internet access to complimentary in-room Starbucks® coffee.
The Wort Hotel also has Grand Teton National Park (12 miles) and Yellowstone National Park (60 miles) at its doorstep, ideal terrain for year-round enjoyment.
