If I ever take a ski trip, I want to retire to a cozy room with cabin vibes and luxury touches. Ideally, it would be in a slopeside, five-star hotel.

When I visited the luxury vacation hot spot of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, earlier this fall, I simply had to stay at one of the most expensive hotels in the area — Hotel Yellowstone, an adults-only resort with a starting rate of $1,500 a night.
The biggest draw for me was the location. The resort sits on a hill with unobstructed views of the Teton Range and Snake River Valley. Photos online showed epic landscapes that I had to see for myself. So I booked a one-night stay in September 2024, though Business Insider paid a media rate.
For travelers craving luxury on a tight budget, a hotel this expensive may need to be paired with a cheaper stay. That's why I spent another night in the cheapest accommodation I could find in Jackson Hole. For $150, I got a bunk in an upscale hostel, Cache House, though a company representative told BI that starting rates are $110 in the summer and $65 in the winter.
Before staying in both accommodations, I thought my preference for the more expensive one would be obvious. Still, my previous travel reporting has shown me that it's not always that simple.
Hotel Yellowstone and Cache House serve completely different vacationers, but both offer luxury in their own ways.

To T.J. Fixman, the writer of the Netflix movie “Carry-On,” an airport security line is ripe cinematic territory. In the movie, set on Christmas Eve, a Transportation Security Administration officer played by Taron Egerton is extorted by a mysterious terrorist into allowing a suspicious — and very dangerous — bag through security screening. Cue chaos throughout the airport, and later, in an airborne airplane.
I love kids, but it's tough for me to relax in a hotel full of them. Peaceful moments by the pool are often interrupted by splashing water. Occasional youthful screams in communal spaces startle me. And sunsets on the balcony may be accompanied by crying children and scolding parents in the room next door.
