Brooklyn-based Studio Tack has transformed a set of run-down structures into a cosy retreat, close to the rugged landscape of the Teton mountains and Yellowstone National Park. The Anvil Hotel's 49 rooms are split over a collection of one- and two-storey buildings, which were first built as a motel in the 1950s.
Its location in the heart of Jackson, Wyoming, puts it within a short walk of Cache Street's restaurants, bars, shops and galleries, and provides easy access to the area's dramatic terrain for hiking, skiing and other outdoor pursuits. Studio Tack – which previously overhauled a former motor lodge in Upstate New York to create a new hotel – used its experience to transform and upgrade the property, as well as design its visual identity.
Guests are welcomed by a wood-burning stove and comfy seating in the lobby, which also acts as a cafe and a small boutique. Just around the corner is the hotel's Glorietta restaurant, which serves seasonal Italian food in a setting of wood-panelled and dark green walls – following the recent trend for dark interiors. Bedrooms feature a palette of dark blue/green and white, with cork or parquet flooring and adjacent black-tiled bathrooms. The beds were custom designed by Studio Tack, with black metal frames and brass accents that match cupboard door handles, light fixtures by Allied Maker and faucets.
