In the Native American language of the Shoshone the word gani is used for home; in Sanskrit, the word “aman” means “peaceful.” Amangani, then, is the “peaceful home” resting high above the bucolic charm of Jackson, Wyoming, teasing the eyes with such natural splendors as the Teton Pass, the Snake River Range and Spring Gulch. Look beyond, and those natural splendors give way to national treasures: At the southern end of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, the mountains and meadows of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks offer year-round compliments to this 40-suite resort that finds an uncommon medium between the modern and the rustic.
Sandstone columns give way to multi-story panes of glass, which in turn give way to smartly oriented terraces and pools. Where windows and sandstone are absent, Pacific redwood takes over; regardless of the element, the senses are never left unattended.
Even the most modest of Amangani’s suites offer capacious bathing areas. Here, clear-heart redwood floors warm feet and eyes, while slate trimmed vanities and a soaking tub with a view offer a cooling contrast to the warm waters they usher. In the living area, the redwood climbs the walls to find a harmonious symmetry with your king size, platform bed. Cowhide chairs join a terrazzo dining table; a day bed adjoins yet another window with another stunning view. Twenty-nine suites offer such amenities; 11 others upgrade your experience with more expansive balconies and additional bathing facilities.
The Amangani Health Center aims to unite beauty and strength to follow the model of the surrounding mountains. Here, the redwood and glass continue. ~Two exercise studios accommodate one-on-one programs in personal training, as well as self-directed efforts on step machines, recumbent bikes and weights. Four treatment rooms play host to a range of body and facial treatments, while a full-service salon takes care of other details.
