Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole Opens Today Year-Round Mountain
Resort Represents Another First for Four Seasons TORONTO, Dec. 18
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts opens its
first mountain resort today at the base of the Jackson Hole
Mountain Resort in Teton Village, just in time to take advantage of
this season's record-setting, early snowfall and the best powder
conditions in nearly a decade. Surrounded by unspoiled wilderness,
the 124-room retreat, which includes 17 private residences and 40
Residence Club units, benefits from a prime, slope-side location,
close to Teton and Yellowstone National Parks -- perfect for
exploring the great outdoors. "This is an exciting new venture for
Four Seasons," said Wolf Hengst, president, worldwide hotel
operations, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. "We welcome the
opportunity to provide our brand of warm and friendly service in a
mountain setting for the first time, creating a new luxury
experience for everyone, from family groups and sports enthusiasts
to corporate travelers and meeting participants." Sloped gently
into the mountainside, the Resort looks out at the Sleeping Indian
and Rendezvous Mountains, the Snake River basin and the wildflower
meadows of the valley. Each of the 106 guest rooms and 18 suites
leads out to a private balcony or terrace, while the lodge-style
interiors are invitingly cozy, with fireplaces, leather headboards
and Native American rugs. Touches of the American West can also be
found in the Resort's three restaurants, both in decor and cuisine.
At the foot of the longest continuous vertical of any ski area in
the U.S., Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole offers ski-in/ski-out
access to lifts and an aerial tram. The Resort's Ski Concierge --
the first of its kind in the area -- will arrange lift tickets,
lessons, rentals and special services, including in-room boot
fittings. In the warmer months, guests can consult the Base Camp
Concierge for help with planning and preparing outdoor adventures
that range from hiking to fly fishing. The Resort offers a
full-service spa, complete with Tranquility Lounge, fully heated
outdoor pool and whirlpools, and a fitness centre. Supervised
activities are available for children aged six months to 17 years.
The property's function and banquet space totals 743 square metres
(8,000 square feet); features include fireplaces and an outdoor
terrace opening onto a function lawn. To experience all that Four
Seasons Resort Jackson Hole has to offer, the Resort is offering a
complimentary fifth night, when booking a four-night stay. This
special opening package is valid from January 4, 2004 through April
4, 2004. With a history spanning four decades and a portfolio that
