4 Luxury Hotels in the American West That Prioritize Sustainability

"Caldera House, at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, delivers big-sky adventure with small-scale intimacy. Its eight suites, designed by Commune and Carney Logan Burke Architects, marry rugged textures with clean lines, handcrafted furnishings, and cinematic mountain views, creating a perfect aesthetic of Western Americana meets European simplicity. Each residence features a chef's kitchen, spa-like bath, wood-burning fireplace, and balcony made for stargazing."

"Vermejo has been described as a "private national park"-and at 550,000 acres, it can truly feel that way. This nonprofit retreat is home to regenerated grasslands, revived native trout streams, and thriving populations of bison, elk, and wild horses. From the timeless accommodations-now including Bernal Lake Cabin, the first addition since 1964-to gourmet meals sourced from an on-property greenhouse, each element of Vermejo represents a connection to nature."

Luxury nature resorts and ranches in the western United States combine high-end accommodations with conservation-minded operations and immersive outdoor experiences. Caldera House in Jackson, Wyoming offers eight suites with handcrafted furnishings, chef's kitchens, spa-like baths, wood-burning fireplaces, and stargazing balconies, and sources produce from Vertical Harvest while eliminating plastic bottles and protecting wildlife corridors. Vermejo, a 550,000-acre Ted Turner Reserve in Raton, New Mexico, operates as a nonprofit refuge with regenerated grasslands, revived trout streams, thriving bison, elk, and wild-horse populations, new Bernal Lake Cabin accommodations, on-property greenhouse meals, and educational sunset veranda dinners.
