Amangiri

Amangiri, USA

Set amidst 600 acres of ruggedly beautiful desert scenery in Utah's Canyon Point, the Amangiri, meaning 'peaceful mountain', is tucked into a protected valley and provides an intimate and peaceful setting in which to enjoy the magnificent landscapes.

Built around the main swimming pool and hot tub, into which a dramatic stone escarpment falls like molten lava, the central pavilion houses the main public areas of the hotel, including the living room, gallery, library and dining room, all boasting stunning vistas of the dunes, plateaux and mesas.

Two accommodation wings lead toward the desert; the Desert Wing houses 16 suites, whilst a further 18 suites and the Aman Spa are located in the Mesa Wing. All suites offer a combined bedroom and living area, bath and rain shower, air-conditioning, under-floor heating, TV and CD/DVD player.
