Review from Anna P.
West Hollywood, CA

While I was in Jackson I finally got to check out this beautiful resort. I have been reading up on it for a while so I had to see it for myself.
First of all let me start with the view. WOW! I haven't really seen anything like it. When you enter the hotel it just hits you right away. Very dramatic.
The service is excellent. You get greeted at the door right away. We got lucky because right away we got shown around for our convenience.
I also decided to have some apres ski food at The Grill, which was fantastic. I have shrimp tacos and a burger with fries.
A few things that I personally wasn't thrilled about where that it was- very far from Teton Village. If you are skier I suggest to stay by the slopes. Also it's kind of a drive up the mountain so when you're there you are stuck. I would suggest renting a car because you can't walk anywhere.
I would love to see this place in the summer! -

This hotel takes service to another level. We have traveled extensively and you will not be able to find a resort that will outshine the Amangani. The attention to detail and the friendly and attentive staff is there at your service. It's one of the few places we have been that anticipate your needs. The food is great. The views of the Teton mountains are just spectacular. The spa is small but the area of the heated pool with the stunning view makes up for it. It's the place to get away from it all. Will definetly be back.

I took my husband as a surprise for his 50th. It was spectacular. The minute you are picked up at the airport you are treated like family. Everything was taken care of and we were definitely spoiled. The resort itself is tranquil and zen. Great for a romantic get away or a solo retreat.
Location: If you don't mind being away from it all and a little secluded, the setting is ideal. The resort itself is located about 10 minutes from the town of Jackson and about 20 minutes from the mountain. There is a scheduled hotel shuttle that will take you to the ski resort free of charge. However if you want to go on your own time to town or the ski resort it is $40 each way.
Service: Outstanding. The staff was friendly and always went out of their way to help. They even filled our room with balloons for my husbands birthday. Easily one of the most hospitable Amans that I have visited.
Dining: The hotel's main restaurant was very good. We had dinner there one evening. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about the wine and the food preparation. The bar/lounge area is gorgeous but very casual and had a great vibe. They have a local cowboy playing acoustical guitar most nights which was nice.
Though our dinner experience was fantastic, we had a slightly different opinion on breakfast. The food was still good, however the service in the mornings was a bit slow. At one point, my husband waited over 30 minutes for an order of eggs and oatmeal. It happened a couple of times when the restaurant was very busy.
Activities: We were there in the winter and so we spent most of our time skiing. Aside from having to get down the mountain, the Aman definitely makes skiing effortless. All of our gear was ready and waiting for us down at the private ski lounge. Our boots were even warm! If I had to complain about something, it would be that the hot chocolate was very watery- but I am really reaching.
Spa: While my husband skiied , I decided to have a spa day. This was the one disappointing experience here. Because the Amangani is so zen, I had the same expectations of the spa facilities. First of all, there really wasn't much of a spa. I think there were a couple of steam rooms, there wasn't a designated waiting area where you can sip tea in your robe and relax. The massage was below average. If you want a massage, I recommend booking a one in your room.
Kids: Though there were a few kids there, most of them were a bit older (7 and up). It is a quiet, peaceful place and probably not the most ideal for a family with very little ones.
Overall, we had a memorable and positive experience here and will definitely return. -

Oh my! This place could be one of the most amazing hotel locations I have seen in a while. It was so tranquil and could not believe how well the place was designed.
We had lunch and drinks on a deck and were not even staying at the hotel. The service was amazing and it is on my must stay list for the future! -

AMANmazing....
We just spent a week here to "get away from it all" and were not disappointed. To start - you are welcomed as a guest to a home. Anything you wish is granted with a smile. The suite we stayed in was luxurious! No complaints. As someone else mentioned - nearly every time you step away from your room it is remade. I barely saw a housekeeper the entire time I was there.
I used the spa while there for several treatments - excellent! Ask for Rita - she is amazing and the very best massage I have ever had! She does belly rubs! purrrrrrrrr.....
Recommendations:
1) the bed is futon like - and too hard for my liking - I highly recommend you test it out and if you require a softer bed ask them to remake it with one or two down comforters as mattress pads. We didn't figure this out until we woke up with sore backs and hips.
2) the steam room in the spa: yikes! It is dark and so steamy that you literally can't see more than a foot in front of you. Be VERY careful! The floor is super slippery. Upon entering...scoot along the wall to your right and you will eventually get to a bench that you can't see. Just feel for it... I have never experienced claustrophobia ... but that steam room was a close call to it!
3) If you see something in the gift shop you like - buy it on the spot. You can always decide later if you want to return it during your stay... I made the mistake of taking 4 days to decide and the item I wanted was purchased by another guest. They do not carry multiples. -

I know I have written about the Amangani before but felt the need to give them a shout out again.
This place really is heaven on earth. From the views to the food it is a 5 star establishment. My wife and I visit Jackson Hole every year and frequent the Amangani as often as we can. The views are breathtaking and the food will make you eat until you can barely walk. We have been for 2 lunches and one happy hour and it is truly an establishment that takes pride in every aspect possible. -

See my profile for location of pics and the rest of the review.
In my other life I had money. I ate wherever I wanted and half the time didn't look at the check, just handed over a credit card and was done with it. I don't eat at places like that anymore but if you work on one of the big holidays the company I work for buys the flight crew dinner as a concession for being away from family. Since the Four Seasons was all booked up we ended up here, at Amangani. Our waitress said just the other day Bill Gates was sitting out on the deck so I knew I would fit right in. The place is typical Big Sky, Big Game style. Lots of wood and timber, stones and expansive subdued opulence.
A view from the restaurant level UP to the main entrance. Behind were a few seating areas around fireplaces and a wall of glass, which, during the day I'm sure would have afforded an amazing view of the Tetons. At night all I could see was myself. Still not a bad view.
The other pilot told them when he made the reservations that I was a vegan and to please prepare a dinner for me. It was a prix fixe for Thanksgiving and I was very curious to see what the world class chef would have served to, oh, I don't know, Natalie Portman?
First of course the bread and butter was set down. Hmmmm. I asked for some olive oil and it came with a little pitcher of balsamic. I then noticed that the table hadn't been speared with the "VEGAN HERE" pennant so as I thought, "Nah, no way here, in THIS place," I asked, "Is the bread vegan?"
Do you know it wasn't? If I really WAS somebody who had any clout in the world of high priced influence I would have made a big deal ... and told all my rich friends to give Nevis or St. Barts a try next winter instead of here. Just because. A place like this should have thought of EVERY detail. Vegan isn't a strange word here. This is a place where the suites go for between $565 and $4800 a night. Seriously, you can't make sure, with 8 hours of advanced notice, that the bread is vegan too? But ... I said nothing. I wanted to have a relaxing evening. Fighting the demons that lurk below the surface to remain submersed and let things flow off my back. Aikido.
Soup this time of year is going to be some kind of squash and tonight it was a Pumpkin Puree with Fennel and Brandy. There were some strings of something on top with a sage leaf. Now this is embarrassing but I tasted the strands, chewed them, felt the heat well up, felt the familiar consistency in my mouth and couldn't for the life of me recall the name of what I was eating. I asked and of course, (head slap here), it was ginger. (Alzheimer's?) I knew that!
The soup was creamy and tasted of pumpkin. I really didn't get a hit of fennel but did get a hint of brandy. Good, but didn't knock my socks off.
First course was a Pumpkin, Fennel and Brandy soup. There were strands of raw ginger under that sage leaf.
Next was the salad. Fresh greens with pear and walnuts and pecans. The bleu cheese was of course omitted but once again, good ... but it was just a salad, properly dressed, fresh and salady, but nothing really original here.
A no Bleu Cheese here salad.
Time for the main course. Now you know they had turkey and wagu beef and steelhead trout so I was wondering what amazing thing the chef would conjure up for me. This was a nicely thought out dish. It was beautiful. A base of yellow beets scalloped in a round with a mound of forbidden rice, chanterelle mushrooms and topped with lightly cooked heirloom tomatoes. This dish offered textures and tastes. It was a great vegetable dish. It was creative; much more than a bunch of sauteed up veggies dumped on a plate, yet, it was still a plate of veggies.
Classically trained chefs think of us vegans as veg heads. Some do a fantastic job of working with vegetables, as evidenced here, but it seems hard for them to think outside the box. Combining a bunch of side dishes beautifully on a plate is still, well, a bunch of vegetables.
Main dish.
I don't think I'd ever had forbidden rice before. It was crunchy, toothy really, in a tempeh sort of way, (not an undercooked sort of way), and added a nice earthiness to the dish and a contrast texture to the veggies.
Now onto dessert. I think the dessert was the high point of the meal. I just figured on a bunch of fruit and they could get rid of the pain in the butt vegan but this was a plate of mixed berries with 3 different sorts of sorbet.
Top left:grape and walnut mint. Top right: Apricot with cardamon and tarragon. Front and center, stone fruit with potato vodka and ginger.
Although the flavor of the fruit was less than stellar, (fresh strawberries in the middle of the winter in Wyoming?), the sorbets were all outstanding. I really didn't get any tarragon but the other flavors all came through and I wish they had a bigger scoop in the kitchen.
Best dish of the evening. -

Aman Resorts outdid themselves this time!
This is by far the NICEST hotel within 200 miles of Jackson Hole. This resort is nestled in the hillside overlooking farmland, the Grand Tetons, and a short hop skip and a jump away from some of the best skiing in Wyoming that you have ever had. In the summer the pool is a delight! Amazing Asian influenced restaurant, full spa, beautiful rooms, and cozy decor in the lobby/lounge area. Beautiful complimentary business center, and a staff that is eager to help you have the best experience possible. When I walked in I noticed that one of the employees was giving a group a guided tour.
Beyond Perfect.
Date Rating: 10 +
Pick up Scale: 3 (seems like somewhere you would come with someone not a place that you would come alone to look for a date)
Strong Suggestions: Bring the engagement ring and some comfy clothes to snuggle up in front of the fire in. -

GORGEOUS, but far from perfect.
The location, setting, design and architecture of this hotel are stunning. The views are breathtaking, and that in itself may be worth the very steep prices and may perhaps make up for some snafus - just be prepared for service that is not 5star and for some "tiredness" around the place (carpet and curtains that need to be replaced etc).
The staff was always friendly and tried to be helpful, but time and again things were forgotten or botched (they arranged horseback riding for us, told us we had to be there at 8:30am when we didn't have to be there until 9am - would have loved that extra 30mins of sleep; we had to repeat our dinner reservation request three times to three different people before it was correctly booked and had a similar situation with the spa; an order for 2 iced teas to-go confounded multiple staff people in a virtually empty dining room - no ice, no lemon etc etc).
But there is no place I'd rather stay in Jackson - the views and location are just unbeatable (much prefer it to the Four Seasons). But you need to come with expectations somewhat lower than they probably should be for an Aman resort, especially at these prices. Most of the staff are very young and not trained and/or equipped to respond efficiently to some pretty basic requests - there the Four Seasons is the clear winner.
Ahh, but the beauty of out the many perfectly placed windows and decks of the Amangani - really can't say enough about it. So it depends on what's most important to you. -

This is a strange review as we did not actually stay at the hotel
A friend of ours suggested us going there for a drink and so we did
the hotel has absolutely the most marvelous view with Grand teton right in front of you
the decor at hotel lobby was tasteful and serene, the pool looked great as well
we just had a couple of drinks at the patio and even though the servers knew we were not guests at the hotel, they were very nice and helpful
I'd say those who can afford to stay here are very very lucky people indeed! :) -

If there were 10 stars, the Amangani would receive all 10... The Aman resorts world wide are truly spectacular, and very expensive. That said, they pay SO much attention to detail, it's unbelievable. It's true that the employee to guest ratio is like 2.5 to 1. The great thing is though, they are completely unobtrusive. They are there to take care of absolutely ANYTHING you could want or need, but they NEVER overdo it, which can drive me crazy at some better resorts.
I can't remember when I've been more relaxed and comfortable ever. Sitting in the giant hot tub in 28 degree weather looking out at the Tetons with people from around the world was so much fun. Being able to jump in the snow then back to the hot tub was so exhilirating... The restaurant was awesome... The hotel was beautiful !
I'm really excited to go back during the summer months.
Will try to post some pics when I can find them. -

Yesterday I flew into jackson hole and someone at the hotel pick me up from the airport in a BMW suv and show me around town and evenually took me back to the Amangani resort to meet Executive Chef Rick. The hotel was very nice and upscale. I saw alot of pic's in the internet but it didn't do any justice. Everyone there were very nice and busy because of a charity fund rising that night. Chef Rick show me around the kitchen and the hotel and it was like a maze to me. All of the food that I saw they making look gorgerous and everyone is very professional. They have like 100 employee for a 41 suite resort and the room ranges from $600-$3000 a night and depending on the season too. I will update this once I start working on Monday morning.
Listed in: TOP in the WORLD!

Simply amazing! Everything about this place is better than any Four Seasons, St. Regis, the Ritz, or the Waldorf Astoria. Not only is the resort itself beautiful, but it is perched atop a butte with amazing views. With only 40 rooms and a genuinely friendly and helpful staff, you feel as if you are part of the family. I have never felt more welcome in a resort in my life. 6 stars to the Amangani...we love you guys!!

My wife and I are great fans of the Aman chain of hotels, and we were excited to stay at their only location in the USA (a new hotel is coming later this year). The Amangani did not dissapoint, and would easily rank among the best hotels we have ever stayed at, and certainly the best in the USA. The location is stunning, the architecture reserved but luxurious, and the service perfect. Great pool, spa, and restaurant, and the staff treats you as if you were very special family. Highly recommended!

Wow this place is gorgeous! I had a chance to actually spend a weekend here during a winter (they have specials during the off season for locals) and the views from this place will blow your mind. They have cool outdoor infinity pool, so the first thing we did was hop right in. It was so nice and warm and having the snow outside made it feel extra special. We had drinks delivered right away and had a blast playing in the water, our room was organized while we were out in the pool and then we actually had dinner, we were treated like one of a kind; had a 4 course meal that was so delicious!!! Staff and service was great (you think they would be very snooty but not at all) and when it was time to leave, they brought my car to me and it had be cleaned and washed! They were so attentive and would definitely recommend and return to the Amangani in the future.
