quotes from the media

“Quickly you appreciate how the architecture defers to the surrounding desert, with each window, every passageway, opening to a preternaturally beautiful view…It’s hard to call a place austere when the staff of 110, from all over the world, is doing so many nice things for you.  Offer floatation therapy at Amangiri’s spa?  Bring in a via ferrata ladder system, used in the Italian Alps, for ascending a mesa?  Set up a telescope to see Jupiter in a clear night sky?”

“Amangiri is one of the most stunning new resorts in the American West.  God is the chief architect of this resort.”

“Amangiri is pure escape and natural wonder”

“It is difficult to find a more mystical location than that chosen for Amangiri”

“Reminiscent of sand bottle art, especially at sunset, the breeze-swept valley outside your Mesa View Suite underscores just how far removed from the real world you actually are.”

"Amangiri’s sand-colored exterior and low-slung profile camouflage it against 600 acres of desert, and the timber-screened courtyard that fronts each of the 34 suites adds to the private, intimate feel.  The neutral palette continues inside, with elemental, earth-inspired furnishings and fixtures (natural timbers, rawhide leather, blackened steel) that pay homage to the region’s Navajo heritage.”

“Amangiri is set on a 600-acre estate and is surrounded by some of the most overwhelming scenery in America.  From its central Pavilion, a desert landscape of bluffs, mesas and stratified rock pillars unrolls with epic grandeur toward the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.  Its architecture also demands your attention.  The concrete structures display a Modernist severity that makes few concessions to traditional resort design, but in their extraordinary natural context, they acquire a sculptural quality.”

“Nestled in a valley, Amangiri’s architecture blends into the landscape so naturally that the 34-suite resort is as camouflaged as a chameleon amongst the rocks.”
