First off, this part of the country is easily one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. The Amangani is a fantastic place from which to appreciate the stunning surroundings. We loved our time here and would definitely go back.

The hotel is impeccably designed, with sumptuous facilities and rooms that are warm and inviting but also encapsulate great, clean design. The restaurant is good with a delicious breakfast (unlike most places, you can happily eat there for days on end without tiring of the choices) and a sufficient dinner (nothing to write home about). The ski facilities are wonderful, and you'll be so glad that you have your own little private lounge at the base of the mountain - it's a dream. On that note, the drivers are ski lounge staff wonderful. Really stellar. Especially Noah, he made our trip a thousand times more enjoyable by being friendly, helpful, and just an all around good guy.

Now for a little constructive criticism: (remember, we loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat, but there are a few things they could address that would make this an unsurpassed hotel and experience):

1. The rooms (and the hotel itself) is very drafty. They've done a terrible job of choosing windows and doors, which is a big surprise given how well thought out the rest of the hotel is. It must be highly energy inefficient and is a bit of a disappointment from such a high-end property.

2. Some of the welcome/recepetion staff and guest managers are overly friendly. They seem to pop out of nowhere with these immense smiles on their faces and ask unrealistically cheery questions. They're well intentioned but it's a bit much. If they were more down to earth and tempered like the fantastic drivers, it would be an all around better experience.

3. We had room service one night since we were sick and we ordered 2 small bowls of rice and a very simple chicken and veggies plate from the kids menu. Bill: $65. Turns out the chicken was $45. Sure, that's our fault for not looking closely enough first, but $45 dollar chicken and veggies from the kids menu? It's a little extortionate.

One more thing: do keep in mind that if you don't have a car, you will be reliant on the hotel transport for any excursion anywhere (except for the complementary shuttle to the mountain). So for dinners in town or anything like that, it quickly adds up ($70 per trip, round-trip).

So all in all it's a GREAT hotel with wonderful amenities and beautiful rooms, which make for an excellent experience. You should definitely go and visit, you will not regret it.

We had the first nights of our honeymoon at the Amangani. We were paying $700+ a night, so it shouldn't be a surprise that they were wonderful to us, but they were wonderful to us. They even bumped us to a nicer room because it was the quiet season. I don't know if I'll ever stay at a place like that again, but both my husband and I agree it was totally worth it. They included breakfasts for us, too :)

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!!

We arrived on 23 November for a long Thanksgiving weekend and to celebrate our anniversary.

The Amangani staff is terrific and our corner suite was beautifully (and simply) appointed. We had a wonderful 4 night stay filled with Moose and Elk sightings, a science/nature tour, and skiing on opening day at Jackson Hole Resort.

The views from the hotel are spectacular and the hotel was perfectly empty and quiet during this off peak time of year. The majority of rooms do not face the Grand Teton Mountains but the far end of the hotel has a corner room that has that view. Regardless, the views are still amazing.

The outdoor/heated pool is a treat and the hot tub perfect amidst the frigid temperatures and after a long day of skiing.

The staff is simply outstanding. Every morning at breakfast the restaurant staff remembered our choices and catered to our dietary preferences. The food was excellent.

We wish we could mention all the staff that served us so well but one stands out above the rest - Chandler. His can-do, positive attitude helped make our weekend even more special.

One of the best perks at Amangani is the private ski lounge at the base of Jackson Hole where you can store equipment, eat, drink and warm up.

The town of Jackson is 15 minutes away and filled with unique shops and Jackson has the 5th largest collection of art galleries in the US.

We ate dinner one evening at Wild Sage at the Rusty Parrot Hotel and it was truly a culinary experience. The dining room is intimate and romantic and had the perfect ambiance. This is a must-visit restaurant.

We paid $695 a night and was surprised at check-out to find a 10% accommodation service charge ($69.50) added to each of the 4 nights. This was the only disappointment of the trip. Our travel agent didn't even know of the fee and neither did we. The website is also not clear and lacks key details necessary for trip planning (i.e. no spa information or menu).

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend Amangani and Jackson Hole, WY. It is truly a special place with amazing scenery, wildlife and service.
