Affording magnificent views of the Grand Tetons and Snake River Valley, Amangani (peaceful home) is perched on the crest of East Gros Ventre Butte adjacent to the world-class ski destination of Jackson Hole.
Evoking the atmosphere of the American West’s pioneering days with its redwood panelling and blazing log fires, Amangani is nonetheless an all-season resort: In spring, summer and fall the surrounding wilderness areas of Grand Teton and Yellowstone beckon, with wildlife viewing, hiking, mountain biking, hot air ballooning and fly-fishing all popular attractions. The resort offers a heated, outdoor swimming pool linked to an expansive whirlpool, and a tranquil Spa and Fitness Centre.
Contemporary and stylish with high ceilings and large picture windows, Amangani’s Suites are warm havens mirroring their magnificent natural setting. Wood and stone are prominent design materials, referencing the surrounding mountains and forests, while woven cowhide chairs and faux-wolf throws nod to the region’s wild soul. All have terraces or balconies with mountain views.
Amangani Spa
Amangani’s comprehensive Wellness Centre includes four spa treatment rooms, two exercise studios and his-and-hers steam rooms. The wellness menu includes an array of rejuvenating treatments and holistic programs. Prepare for a day of Wyoming wildlife sightings with an early morning private yoga or Pilates session, or wind down after a long day of skiing with a deep tissue massage or Himalayan salt scrub. Treatments are also available in the privacy of your suite or outdoors on your private terrace.
