Amangani: Perched redwood-and-sandstone clifftop retreat in Jackson Hole with 115-foot heated pool framing the Tetons

Perched high on the crest of East Gros Ventre Butte at an elevation of 7,000 feet, Amangani opened in 1998 as architect Ed Tuttle’s iconic North American masterpiece. Translating to 'peaceful home,' the 40-suite clifftop retreat blends Oklahoma sandstone, Pacific redwood, and expansive glass to frame monumental, uninterrupted vistas across the Snake River Valley and the snow-capped Teton Mountain Range. Located just 15 minutes from the cowboy town of Jackson and 20 minutes from Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, the property combines wild western frontier drama with serene luxury.

Arrival transitions guests into a soaring two-story sandstone lounge anchored by roaring log fireplaces and floor-to-ceiling windows framing the Grand Teton. Day-one logistics focus on alpine adventure planning: private ski passes and ski concierge coordination at the private Amangani Ski Lounge in Teton Village, private snowmobile or wildlife safaris into Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, and securing dinner reservations at The Grill.

Alpine leisure is anchored by the world-famous 115-foot (35-metre) heated outdoor infinity swimming pool and 113-degree whirlpool, which steam dramatically into the crisp mountain air year-round against the vertical peaks of the Tetons. The Aman Spa offers four treatment rooms, eucalyptus steam rooms, and restorative botanical therapies. Dining is centered in The Grill, showcasing prime local ranched bison, elk, Idaho trout, and organic harvest dishes.

Accommodations comprise 40 suites ranging from 45-square-metre Superior and Deluxe Suites to the signature 75-square-metre Grand Teton Suite. Each suite features a private redwood terrace with mountain views, a slate-tiled fireplace, a deep soaking tub positioned beside picture windows, and radiant heated stone floors.

Skiers, wildlife enthusiasts, and luxury travelers seeking dramatic mountain grandeur, heated infinity pool swimming under snowfall, and peaceful clifftop seclusion should book Amangani without hesitation. Travelers seeking bustling ski-in/ski-out hotel plazas or budget motels should look elsewhere in the valley.
