Amangani

One of the nicest romantic getaways ever ! Elegant, classy, high end nature oriented architecture... beautiful! Quiet and romantic. Great service. Beautiful view and sunsets. Beautiful spa. Highly recommended!

After a week or driving through the beautiful natural landscapes like the Badlands, Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, arriving at Amangani was the first time I actually felt compelled to take a photo of something man-made for quite some time. The property is really beautiful, with the same minimalist ethos that I recalled from my previous visit to an Aman. The location is also stunning, with a panoramic view of an almost completely untouched valley. It's definitely the perfect retreat from a day of exploration and activity in what's surely one of the most spectacular parts of the country. I do have a few complaints. First, I was mildly disappointed with the room, it was quite small for the price, and just didn't seem to have the same attention to detail as the rest of the property. For example, the TV seemed clumsily attached, almost as an afterthought, with a mess of visible wires protruding from the back of it. The room itself also seemed a little worn, and truth be told it's probably getting close to the point that the whole property needs a renovation - the carpets in particular are frayed, and it definitely didn't have the same pristine feel to the Amangiri when I visited a few years ago. Other minor complaints: there are two types of taco on the menu, my waiter brought me the wrong one (she should have double-checked with me if she wasn't sure), and I didn't want to make a fuss so I just ate what she brought even though it wasn't what I wanted. The food overall was good though, and all the ingredients seemed very fresh (the freshly squeezed orange juice I had at breakfast was one of the best I've ever had, and I'm quite the OJ snob). The spa is excellent, and I loved that the pool and jacuzzi are open 24 hours (I always find it intensely annoying when hotels have them closed at the exact time you want to use them) with an amazing view. If I was being super nit-picky, I'd say it would've been nice to have the pool maybe a few degrees warmer, just because that particular evening the weather was unseasonably cold so even with the heating it was chilly. Would highly recommend getting a massage here - it was one of the best I've had in a while. I'm hoping to make a return trip for a longer stay at some point in the future. It's not cheap of course, but you've got to live a little sometimes!

Taking the twisty road up to Amanjani in May was an eye opener; I can't even imagine it in the winter. But the views are certainly worth it. Can't say much for anything but the bar and the service therein which were both excellent. This is a rather small, 40 room, boutique hotel with a very unassuming decor leaving it all up to the view. Large patio overlooks the infinity pool and the valley below. Worth a visit for sure.

I just returned home from a visit to Amangani yesterday and wanted to share my disappointment with the entire experience. When the power went out at Teton Village shutting down skiing for the weekend, I immediately contacted Amangani to ask what our options were. I was told that I would be forfeiting the entire cost of my reservation, which is fair, I get it. But I do not understand why there was not an option to use it as a credit for a future reservation. I would have gladly rescheduled and come back in a month to do some actual skiing. Being told on the phone that there is still skiing because Snow King remained open was almost insulting. Nobody comes to Jackson Hole to ski Snow King. Not to mention, when we did break down and decide to go over there, the lifts closed due to an avalanche. Also, the two other trips we scheduled with you (snowmobiling and dogsledding) were both canceled upon our arrival due to avalanche. The food was atrocious. I was served raw beef TWICE. I know that this was addressed and luckily taken off my bill, but you are supposed to have incredible food. I've been to Amangiri before and I can tell you, your kitchen isn't even from the same universe. Because of the passes being closed and the power outage, etc. I can assume that the resort was understaffed during our time there and it showed. Everything was slow. Amangani should have assumed that, with Teton Village losing power, and another storm in the near future, that the resort would not be able to function at its full potential. However, we were left with no other options because they basically held our money hostage and said we had to come. I will never return to Amangani for the rest of my life and it makes me feel wonderful and I will never step foot in that property again.

Had a nice stay here 10/15, the October weather being so fickle, we were actually able to swim comfortably in the beautiful pool with views and quick access to spa. Got great tour of Yellowstone, a couple hours' drive away. Fabulous geology there, and in Jackson, such a friendly and interesting modern Western town about 15 mins. drive. Unspoiled place: Cherish this.
