NEED TO KNOW
- With its floor-to-ceiling columns of Oklahoma sandstone, ceilings and walls in Pacific redwood and chairs of rattan and woven cowhide, the resort reflects the spirit of the West
- The elegant and spacious suites are equipped with modern comforts and offer mountain and valley views
- Amangani's elegant suites are an expression of the surrounding countryside that inspired them: modern comforts, woven cowhide chairs and faux wolf throws are eased into a spacious environment using clean and simple lines creating an atmosphere that reflects the wonders and majestically aged-soul of its 'wild west' host
THE HOTEL
Amangani (or peaceful home) is sensitively designed with a keen eye on embracing the wonders of the resort's surroundings. Perched on the edge of East Gros Ventre Butte in Jackson Hole, a high mountain valley in northwest Wyoming, the resort has used native materials and natural textures throughout.
Amangani overlooks meadows and grazing herds but is surrounded by spectacular mountain ranges, hence the word "hole" to describe the valley. Directly across the valley from Amangani is Teton Pass which divides the Snake River Range from the snow-capped Tetons. Yellowstone National Park is close by.
Amangani's 35-metre, heated, outdoor swimming pool is finished in frost-coloured quartzite tiles and is linked to a 10.5-square metre whirlpool. Both enjoy magnificent mountain views, especially at sunset. With a winter water temperature of about 27°C, the swimming pool can be enjoyed year-round.
Victoria Holdsworth was absolutely fantastic, really made a wonderful itinerary for us that gave us the most amazing holiday experience, great hotels, great destinations, all so well researched.
