Amangani clings to the crest of East Gros Ventre Butte, some 2,135 metres above sea level, and affords magnificent views of the Grand Teton and Snake River Valley below. It was the first Aman resort in North America and it evokes the atmosphere of the American West.

Amangani ("peaceful home") is an all-season resort. The winter highlight is skiing, while in spring, summer and fall, the surrounding wilderness areas of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks are amongst the many attractions.
The resort 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-metres 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.
Key points:
- Location: Inside the southern boundary of Grand Teton National Park, a 10-minute drive from the town of Jackson.
- Accommodation: 29 suites and some homes for rent.
- Activities: Ski, dog-sledding, wildlife safaris, hiking, mountain biking, fly flishing, track trails, hunting and spa.
- Cuisine: The Grill is a 65-seat dining room open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It specialises in local, sustainable ranch meats, fresh fish and seasonal farm to table produce. Picnic lunches can be prepared with advance notice. The Bar is defined by rugged sandstone columns, half-a-dozen wrought-iron bar stools and intimate, window-side pairings of tables and chairs.
- Best season: All year round.
