Amangani, Jackson Hole, USA

The Amangani sits in perfect isolation overlooking open snowfields surrounded by the snow-capped Teton Mountain range. This unique hotel makes an idyllic ski retreat, offering a guest experience that is intimate and discreet while providing the highest level of service. The resort sits away from the hustle and bustle of Jackson Hole and only 20 minutes by complimentary transfer to the alpine Teton Village. Guests of the Amangani have access to a private ski lounge at the gondola base for your convenience and comfort throughout the day.

The luxurious simplicity of the Amangani’s interiors is a sophisticated interpretation of Western design without compromise.

The Lounge, with its soaring redwood ceiling, enormous wood-burning fireplaces and two-storey window walls, provide breath taking views across to the Snake River Range and below to Spring Gulch. Adjacent is the light filled comfortable library where you can enjoy a wide selection of books on Western and Native American culture, as well as the regions flora and fauna.

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 of understated elegance. Enjoy the spectacular mountain or valley views from your private deck or the comfort of your room.

The Grill restaurant boasts an American-style gourmet experience that rivals its surroundings, made yet more impressive with its floor to ceiling windows, specially-commissioned artwork and rug strewn slate floors and wood- burning fireplace.

The Zinc Bar is defined by rugged sandstone columns, yet an intimate spot to relax and enjoy a drink.

Amangani’sspectacular heated, outdoor swimming pool is finished in frost-coloured quartzite tiles and is linked to a whirlpool that offers stunning views as the sun goes down over the mountains. Amangani’s Spa and Fitness Centre features two exercise studios, four treatment rooms and separate steam rooms for men and women. A variety of one-to-one programmes are offered in the Wellness Studio.

Maybe on a non-skiing day, consider a winter wonderland adventure to Yellowstone National Park, with its outstanding beauty and wildlife which is equally impressive, if not more dramatic than the summer months.
