Rusty Parrot Lodge & Spa Receives World’s Best Hotel Value Honor
Jackson lodge is only Wyoming property to make Travel + Leisure list
Jackson, Wyoming – February 2008 – The Rusty Parrot Lodge & Spa had been named
one of the 2008 World’s Best Hotel Values by Travel + Leisure readers in the current
(March) issue of the magazine.
The Rusty Parrot was voted number two for best value in the “Continental U.S.
and Canada, Over $400” per night category; the Four Seasons Resort Whistler in British
Columbia received the category’s top vote. Three out of the top five hotels in the
category were Canadian—located in British Columbia and Vancouver Island—with only
two, the Rusty Parrot and Blantyre in Massachusetts located in the Continental U.S.
“This award is important to us because we work hard to ensure our guests have
a fabulous experience and feel they have received great value from any Rusty Parrot
stay,” said Rusty Parrot General Manager Jim Promo.
A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the Rusty Parrot Lodge & Spa
was built in 1990 by owner Ron Harrison, who envisioned a different type of lodge near
the shopping, art galleries and restaurants of Jackson’s Town Square. Since its
inception, the lodge has been recognized with many prestigious awards with regular
placements on the Conde Nast Traveler Gold List and Travel + Leisure World’s Best
Awards--including being rated number one hotel in the Continental U.S. and Canada by
readers in 2005. The Rusty Parrot has been featured in media from NBC's “The Today
Show” to USA Today and The New York Times. Both the Rusty Parrot and its Wild
Sage restaurant continue to receive the prestigious AAA Four Diamond Award. For
