During my trip, I explored three interior spaces that epitomized luxury — Hotel Yellowstone, the vacation home, and a five-bedroom penthouse suite at the Four Seasons Jackson Hole, with a starting rate of $11,000 a night in the peak season.
The top-tier establishments were all unique in their own right, but they had one thing in common — an interior design style inspired by the natural landscapes just outside.
Representatives and designers from all three spaces told BI that they incorporated natural elements — a trend known as biophilic design — so that guests and owners are reminded of their American Western environment at every turn.
The vacation home had tree trunk tables, mineral sculptures, and benches topped with fur hides. Floor lamps at Hotel Yellowstone were handmade to look like moose antlers. Western artists’ paintings of landscapes and wildlife decorated the halls of the Four Seasons penthouse.
Meanwhile, interior spaces I’ve seen in New York have had mostly minimal, midcentury modern styles.
