Amangani

LOCATION
High above the town of Jackson, Amangani is perched on the edge of East Gros Ventre Butte in Jackson Hole, a valley in northwest Wyoming. Nearly 2,135 metres (7,000 feet) above sea level, Amangani overlooks meadows and grazing land 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.
The Teton Range, dominated by the 4,200-metre (13,770-foot) Grand Teton, is the youngest formation in the soaring Rocky Mountains. Amangani’s peaceful location is at the southern end of this extensive alpine valley. The town of Jackson is the southern gateway to nearby Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park, less than 100 kilometres away. The snow-fed waters
of the Snake River gather in the Yellowstone Plateau and wind south through Jackson Hole.

Getting There: Amangani is a 20-minute drive from Jackson Hole Airport (located inside the southern boundary of Grand Teton National Park), and a 10-minute drive from the town of Jackson. Major airlines and commuter services provide regular access to Jackson via Denver, Salt Lake City, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas and Los Angeles. Private flights are served by Jackson Hole Aviation, the airport’s fixed base operation. Charter flights are also available.

ACCOMMODATION
Suites: The 40-suite, three-storey resort follows the contours of the butte, blending seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Amangani makes extensive use of Oklahoma sandstone and Pacific redwood, and the resort’s roof is of cedar shakes and sod. Douglas fir and cedar also lend shape and style to the resort. Amangani offers 29 Suites, five Deluxe Suites, one Shoshone Suite, two Amangani Suites, one Sena Suite, one Spring Gulch Suite and one Grand Teton Suite. All suites are carpeted, with a bedroom/ living room and a bathroom/dressing room. The living area features a king-size bed, a fireplace, a window-side day bed for lounging, a black resin-and-terrazzo dining table, woven cowhide chairs and a pine-stump table. There’s also a mini bar, CD player, TV, DVD player and two-line phone with data plug-in and high-speed Internet access. Wireless Internet connections are also available. Living area walls are back-lit cedar or fir planks, while sliding glass doors lead to a deck with a wrought iron table and chairs. Every suite enjoys mountain and valley views. A deep soaking tub with mountain views is central to the bathroom
and dressing area. The twin vanities and shower are trimmed in slate. Floors are of clear-heart redwood. Twin dressing areas include a full-length mirror as well as ample drawers, shelves, open closet space for two and a wardrobe.

Aman Villas: Known as the Amangani Homes, these have the same aesthetics and design features as the resort. The Homes are spacious, free-standing dwellings offering four bedrooms, daily housekeeping, private dining and full access to the resort’s awardwinning facilities.
