Arriving at Amangani is like arriving at your private hideaway in the
spectacular Teton Valley of Jackson Wyoming. This amazing new west hotel is
perfectly blended into the mountainside – a low-profile architectural marvel.
Bellmen whisk your bags while the concierge and management team greet you in the
grand lobby of soaring redwood, flagstone and glass that frames the beautiful
landscape, and the elk grazing on the hillside below. Everything is seamlessly
tended to in the spa-like atmosphere of the 40-suite resort. Each spectacular
suite has the latest luxuries in an art-deco meets west motif, plus a private
balcony, extravagant sized bath with slate walk-in shower and soaking tub – with
floor to ceiling windows to the Tetons.
The outdoor reverse edge heated pool and spa tub is the best place to start your
après ski Amangani experience with views of
Snow King and
Jackson Hole where you
just skied, just wear your robe and slippers from your perfectly appointed suite
to the full-service spa. Amangani means peaceful home, and the staff caters to
you with every creature comfort.
Amangani is part of Aman Resorts, a luxury resort collection started in 1985,
with 19 posh properties in 13 countries. Seasoned (ok, spoiled) guests call
themselves Amanjunkies and tour the globe seeking the next swank Aman resort
from Phuket to Courchevel France and yes, Jackson Wyoming.
From Amangani in Jackson, you could simply enjoy the spa, and 115’ heated pool,
sit and read by the grand fireplaces in the luxurious library and expansive
lobby, or the inviting Zinc Bar – cocktails can be served anywhere at your whim.
Or you can take a complimentary shuttle to ski
Jackson Hole where Amangani has an
exclusive Ski Lounge where your skis and boots are stored and cared for during
your ski stay, or go ski Snow King in
town for a few hours.
Back at Amangani, a beautiful fitness room, massages, and yoga classes are at
your beckon call. The on staff naturalist also offers wildlife safaris in their
SUVs to the National Elk Refuge and Grand Teton National Park – but we
were content watching
twenty big elk from our suite balcony. The cuisine at Amangani Grill is as haute
as the 6,000’ elevation resort, with a James Beard award-winning chef preparing
beautiful plates of bison, elk, Wagyu beef (basically all the big game you saw
out grazing), and steelhead trout.
