quotes from the media

“Of all the great places to stay, few can be greater than Amangiri…It’s that characteristic Aman style of austere, natural brutalism that blends in discreetly with the epically desert landforms…. Amangiri has its own private desert.  Step outside your room into the view as it were – and you can go on two tremendous hikes around the hulking mesas.”

"Amangiri's architecture frequently frames the undreary, constantly changing desert that surrounds it.”

“In addition to a breathtaking panorama, the spa is a journey in itself: immense space of 230 square meters playing with stone, water and lights.”

“Amangiri is the perfect spot, because it marries modernity with the organic, earthy setting.”

“Like dying and going to Martian heaven. A kind of plugged-in elemental blast that quietly courses through your brain and ends up blurring the ends of your fingertips. After 24 hours here, you feel like you've been away for weeks. It's an extraordinary otherworld - a fluid, sculpted triumph that channels nature at her loudest and proudest. Gosh, the service is good - want a burger, want to meditate in a cocooning, salty bath, want to hang upside down from a prehistoric rock? They'll fix it for you. This is the hotel that really makes you think all other hotels are clunky and false and foolish. It's a thing of beauty, with pools that wrap round rocks and glass walls that open, with fires in the middle of the windows and beds on the roof. The earth has been mixed into the concrete so the completely modern lick of the hotel becomes part of the landscape. You can ride and you can raft and you can stretch as a butter scotch sun swarms the horizon. This is an architectural tonic with a palpable energy. It's like the place where Luke Skywalker lived with his family, fixing robots. But way, way cooler.”

“Every surface of Amangiri – the second North American property from the luxury hotel group Amanresorts – seems to suggest not only an aesthetic but a meditative state of mind.  Encircled by dramatic, sun-colored rock formations, the compound is set on 600 acres of southern Utah wilderness alongside eroded hoodoos and 5,000-year-old petroglyphs.  Its polished, low-slung buildings, dyed up to 10 times to match the nuances of the landscape, house 34 streamlined suites with timber-and-rawhide furniture and smooth concrete walls that frame surreal sweeps of sculpted sandstone…  It’s an instant classic for the less-is-more crowd.”
