Amangani

The Hotel

Amangani sits on the East Gros Ventre Butte — a ridge that rises above the valley floor east of downtown Jackson — at an elevation that provides unobstructed sightlines across the entire Teton range. The hotel was completed in 1998 as the first Aman property in North America, and the 40 suites were designed with the specific intelligence that characterises the Aman portfolio at its best: the building disappears into the landscape rather than announcing itself against it, the materials are drawn from the surrounding geology (redwood, sandstone, concrete), and every room faces west toward the mountains. The infinity pool on the western terrace is the hotel's defining experience and one of the finest hotel views in the United States — the Tetons across the valley at any light, but particularly at dusk when the range turns the specific pink that geological photographers plan around. The Dining Room serves the valley's finest cuisine in a room that knows it doesn't need tablecloths to justify itself. The spa operates at the level the room rate implies.

Best for Honeymoon

For a Jackson Hole honeymoon at the highest level, Amangani provides the view that makes the question of whether to stay in Teton Village or downtown Jackson irrelevant — it is above both, facing neither, looking only at the mountains that are the point of being here.
