Amangani

Character and identity

Perched 7,000 feet up on East Gros Ventre Butte, Amangani is the first North American Aman and still one of the rarer chances to experience the brand without leaving the country. Ed Tuttle's three-storey building threads into the hillside in Pacific redwood and Oklahoma sandstone, with rattan-and-cowhide furniture and Western photography giving it the feel of a generous home rather than a hotel. The 40 suites all face southwest toward the Tetons and the Snake River Valley. The Grill leans into Rocky Mountain cooking (caribou sausage, elk T-bone), and the spa runs Aman rituals alongside private yoga and sound baths. Service is polished and discreet, formal without stiffness.

Who's it for

Bottom line

What you're paying for is the Aman service register and that southwest-facing wall of glass, not proximity to the lifts. Book it if seclusion, the spa, and guided wilderness access matter more than chairlift convenience. The Grand Teton Suite is the view to chase; aim for late summer or deep winter sunsets. Note the property is closed for renovation and reopens summer 2026.
