On the site of a magnificent natural phenomenon, where nature’s needs prevail over those of humanity, Amangani has laid its indigenous foundations with environmental integrity rooting itself in the soul of the dramatically unprocessed American Wild West. The resort has a prodigious aspect, in 21st Century comfort, across the raw valley of Jackson Hole where many a wild animal leaves a labyrinthine trail as it wanders up into the spectacular surrounding snow-capped Tetons, the Rockies' youngest and most riveting range.
Amangani was sensitively designed, with a keen eye on embracing the wonders of its surroundings, from both sides of its Okalahoma sandstone columns and sweet smelling Pacific redwood walls. Nature reveals her power, wildlife and geology in dramatic style at Jackson Hole, and Amangani reflects this by using native materials and natural textures on a palette of ‘butte and hide’ tones.
Comfort is second nature at Amangani and the 21st century has been comfortably and sympathetically incorporated while allowing the feeling of a ‘throw back’ in time to play out its rawness in full view from the resort's floor–to-ceiling walls of windows.
Amangani embraces the spirit of the West without disturbing the beguiling ‘calls’ of Nature’s wild and mystical rhythms.
