Glamping. Forget Roughing It, Camp In Style. Luxury Tents In Jackson Hole.

Glamping, the new term being used for upscale, or glamorous, camping is one of the fastest growing trends in the eco-luxe hospitality industry. Glamour camping offers all of the attractions of Jackson Hole camping: sleeping under the stars, sitting around a campfire, falling asleep to the sounds of nature, etc., while taking all of the hassles out of the experience (pitching a tent, lugging gear and food, sleeping on the bumping ground, collecting firewood, etc.).




It then attaches the comforts of a luxury hotel room: ultra comfortable king size bed, luxury linens, concierge and cleaning services, etc. Collectively, the result is a completely extraordinary experience.



Refresh yourself in your Glamping Bathhouse, which hosts private, luxury washrooms - including rain showers, heated floors and indulgent organic spa products.



Relax around your outdoor fire as the day turns to night. Need anything? Out of marshmallows? Their 24 hour Glamping Butlers live onsite and are just a phone call away. Enjoy Jackson Hole as our professional service staff cleans your tent in preparation for your return.




Welcome to the future of Jackson Hole luxury lodging. Already full for 2012. Reservations are now available beginning June 1, 2013.

Barf Bags to Boarding Passes, EVA Air and Sanrio Brand the Heck Out of Hello Kitty Air.

If United Airlines turned the skies "friendly", then EVA Air has now made them "cute." Taiwan's second-largest carrier, EVA Air, and Japan's Sanrio, have collaborated for the second time to bring us Hello Kitty branded air travel. The two companies launched the first generation of Hello Kitty jets in 2005, but that fleet was disbanded in 2009, after its licensing agreement expired.



Then last year, they launched the first of the new fleet, the Hello Kitty 'Magic Stars' Airbus. Soon after, two more brand-new A330-300 aircrafts, The Hello Kitty 'Loves Apples' and the Hello Kitty 'Around The World' jets joined the Magic Stars Jet. Each has 30 Premium Laurel seats and 279 economy seats, an increase of 57 seats over the airline’s A330-200 jets. Magic Stars Jet flies to Sapporo and Guam, Apple Jet flies to Seoul and Fukuoka with the Global Jet serving Hong Kong and Tokyo.



White with the exception of green tails and the EVA logo, the aircraft are giant airborne canvases for Hello Kitty and her friends.

The cute exterior graphics on the jets are only a small part of the enormous branding project. From the actual boarding gate in Taiwan's airport to the ticket kiosks, everything related to the experience is branded with the cute mouthless cartoon kitty.

Flight attendants, headrests, in flight programming and pillows all have the popular Sanrio character upon them in some manner:








All the meals, regardless of class or jet, are branded with Hello Kitty:





On board the plane over 100 in-flight items are specially designed with the Hello Kitty motif - including headrest covers, tissues, paper cups, utensils, milk bottles, snacks, soap dispensers, hand lotion, meals, ice cream, flight attendant aprons... even the barf bags.
