Your Lodging Reservation At Amangani Resort
Amangani
(meaning peaceful home) is perched on the edge of East Gros Ventre Butte
in America's ski capital, Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Opened in 1998,
Amangani was rated first for its spa programs and fifth overall among
the top 50 spa resorts in North America and the Caribbean in a readers'
poll conducted by Conde Naste Traveler.
Nearly 2,135 meters (7,000ft) above sea level, the resort overlooks
meadows and grazing land. Across the valley is Teton Pass, which divides
the Snake River Range from the snow-capped Tetons. The Teton Range,
dominated by the 4,200m summit of Grand Teton, is the youngest of the
Rocky Mountains. The snow-fed waters of the Snake River gather in the
Yellowstone Plateau and wind south through Jackson Hole. The word “Hole”
(as in Jackson Hole) was once used to describe high mountain valleys.
The 40-suite, three-story resort is set on the cliff-edge of a butte.
Its roof, crafted of cedar shakes, flows like a natural outcropping.
Amangani makes extensive use of Oklahoma sandstone and Pacific redwood.
Douglas fir and cedar also lend shape and style to the resort. A soaring
ceiling and a wide, two-story window with stunning mountain views opens
up from the lobby.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Amangani
offers 29 Suites, six Deluxe Suites, four Amangani Suites and the Grand
Teton Suite.
Suite: These air-conditioned suites include a
bedroom/living room and a spacious bathroom/dressing room. The living
area consists of a king-size platform bed and a fireplace. Furnishings
include a redwood-frame day bed for lounging, a black resin-and-terrazzo
dining table, woven cowhide chairs in faux wolf fabric and a
pine-stump table. The suites also offer a mini-bar, a CD player, a
TV/VCR and a two-line phone with data plug-in. Living-area walls are
decorated with back-lit cedar planks. Sliding glass doors lead to a
deck, with mountain and valley views.
A deep soaking tub with a window view highlights the large
bathroom/dressing area and the twin vanities and shower room are trimmed
in slate. Double dressing areas include a full-length mirror, as well as
drawers, shelves and open closet space for two. The floor is of
clear-heart redwood.
Deluxe Suite: The Deluxe Suites are similar in
layout and design to the Superior Suites but a touch bigger at 500
square feet. Being end units with L-shape wraparound porches, Deluxe
Suites offer more privacy.
Amangani Suite: The premium Amangani Suites are
private end units with an expansive balcony overlooking the Snake River
Mountain Range and valley. The suites have generous bathing and dressing
areas creating an open, airy feel.
Grand Teton Suite: This top-level suite has
breathtaking views of the Grand Tetons. The suite has a king-size bed in
the bedroom/living-room area and a separate bathroom/dressing room area
with a sunken tub, his-and-her washbasins, and a separate shower stall.
The Grand Teton Suite is 624 square feet.
FOOD AND DINING
The
Grill, a 65-seat dining room, is open for breakfast, lunch and
dinner. A wood-burning fireplace, redwood-paneled walls and ceiling,
specially commissioned artwork and window views to the mountains lend a
mood of stylish comfort. Banquette seating mixes with chairs of rawhide
and rattan. Tables are of black terrazzo, and the floor is a mix of
carpet and slate. The Grill specializes in creative American cuisine
including steaks, chops, seafood and regionally produced organic foods.
Private dinners and receptions are arranged in the special-occasion
room, adjacent to the library and picnic lunches are available.
The zinc-top Bar is defined by rugged sandstone
columns, half-a-dozen wrought-iron bar stools and an intimate,
window-side setting of tables and chairs. In the summer, drinks can be
taken out onto the adjacent terrace.
FACILITIES
Lounge: From the Amangani entranceway, 20 steps
sweep dramatically down to the Lounge, with its soaring redwood ceiling,
two-story window-wall and twin wood-burning fireplaces. Enjoy the views
from cowhide chairs or banquette seating. Afternoons, a fireside menu of
light meals and appetizers is available.
Library: The library makes extensive use of glass
and redwood. There is also a settee, along with rawhide-and-rattan
chairs and views to the mountains. Books focus on the region’s flora and
fauna, Native American culture, Western art and the area’s two national
parks. A selection of novels, as well as CDs, videos and games, is also
available.
The Takoda Room: In the tribal language of the
Native American Indian, takoda means 'the friend of all': an
expression of camaraderie and friendship. A relaxed setting that
establishes this same sense of open fellowship, guests reserving this
room to host a dinner or an event can enjoy high standards of service in
a harmonious atmosphere. Dressed with regional artwork, redwood-paneled
walls and a large, wood-burning fireplace, The Takoda Room provides a
welcoming ambience reflective of traditions of hospitality found in the
American west.
Gallery: The Gallery showcases local art, antiques
and craft, from jewellery and pottery to paintings. A selection of
coffee-table books and clothing, as well as Amangani’s own toiletries,
is also available.
Health
Center & Gym: Amangani’s Health Center
offers two exercise studios, four treatment rooms and separate steam
rooms for men and women. A variety of one-on-one programs are offered in
the exercise salon, including aerobics, restorative yoga and meditation.
The gym, which faces the exercise salon, is equipped with a state of the
art TechoGym, two running machines (treadmills), two elliptical trainers
and one recumbent bike, all with built in TV monitors connected to
cable. There is also a Radiant multi- system strength machine as well as
free weights and bench. Both exercise studios are finished in redwood
with views to the swimming pool and across the valley. The Health Center
also offers a range of massages and facials. A highlight is the
hydraulic treatment massage bed, with its contoured cushions. Separate
mud, salt and seaweed body treatments are available as well, while
haircuts and deep conditioning, along with manicures and pedicures, are
offered in the beauty salon. Massage, health-and-beauty treatments and
personalized exercise programs may be enjoyed by the swimming pool or in
the privacy of the guest’s suite.
Swimming Pool and Whirlpool:
Amangani’s 35-meter outdoor swimming pool is finished in frost-colored
quartzite tiles and linked to a whirlpool 10.5 meters square. Both enjoy
