Executive Housekeeper - Anvil Hotel

About Anvil Hotel

Anvil Hotel is a boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Jackson, Wyoming, just steps from Town Square and within easy reach of Grand Teton and Yellowstone. The property blends the rugged character of the American West with modern, frontier-inspired design, creating a place that feels relaxed, thoughtful, and connected to Jackson Hole.

At the Anvil Hotel Complex, the guest experience depends on details that feel effortless: a room that is ready when a traveler arrives, public spaces that feel warm and cared for, linens and amenities that are consistent, and a housekeeping team that understands the connection between cleanliness, comfort, and hospitality.
