Amangani

Jackson Hole, United States

Amangani hotel, a three-storey sweep of sandstone and redwood at the foot of the Teton range, is an effortlessly dramatic Rocky Mountain hideaway. In winter, it’s the ideal base for skiing the snow-packed slopes of Jackson Hole, but this all-suite Wyoming wilderness retreat has back-to-nature appeal all year round.

Food and drink at Amangani

• Hotel restaurant High-ceilinged, redwood-walled eatery the Grill not only allows you to admire the local wildlife though its floor-to-ceiling windows, but to eat it too. Chef Rick Sordahl’s inventive American menu takes in elk sirloin chilli and bison ribs, as well as Kobe beef from Idaho and line-caught yellowfin tuna. At breakfast, don’t miss the macadamia-encrusted French toast.
• Dress code You’d be welcomed in anything, but dress up for dinner. Don a Stetson if you really want to look the part.
• Top table You can eat wherever you fancy in the hotel, but, during the day, the top spot’s out on the terrace.
• Last orders Breakfast, 6–11am; lunch, 12–3pm; dinner, 5pm until the last guest’s eaten. And, if you get peckish in between, there’s always a lounge menu on offer.
• Room service Meals, drinks, you name it, 24 hours a day.
• Hotel bar With just six wrought iron bar stools and a handful of tables, Zinc Bar is a cosy spot. A guitarist strums his stuff on Thursday–Saturday evenings in season. Bison paintings and a huge Native American hide wall-hanging remind you you’re in Wyoming (as do the huckleberry martinis). There’s cocktail service by the pool, too.
