Amangani

Definitely better in the winter if you have no interest in skiing or snowboarding, although the houses are great.

The resort is absolutely beautiful—secluded yet convenient, with plenty to do whether skiing or relaxing. The ski shuttle, ski lounge (special thanks to Andrew!), hot chocolate bar, live music, and family-friendly vibe made our stay memorable. Unfortunately, the dining experience was frustrating. We were told the restaurant was fully booked for NYE, only to find it nearly empty all night. Excursions booked through the hotel were also disappointing, with no support from management when issues arose. Overall, the resort itself is stunning, but I would avoid booking excursions through the hotel and manage dining expectations in advance.

No 10 stars option? By far the most unforgettable vacays I had in the US! The resort is outstanding, the service was impeccable!!! All 3 excursions were unforgettable!! I can’t thank them all enough!!! Truly a HIDDEN GEM!! Yes, expensive, but if you can afford a room for 1,500$ a night then you should be able to pay a high buck for everything else. The whole stuff is sooooo welcoming and accommodating! I’m in love with Aman forever now! Big thank you! 😊

It could be that this place was so hyped up that made me disappointed, either way for the price point it was lacking. Pros - location, close enough to town but secluded enough you still feel like you’re in the wilderness. Size of the rooms, our room, which was the basic suite was large, with enough room for a baby. The front desk person, Red, he brought me milk at 4am when my baby was crying and that was much appreciated and was super kind about it. All of the drivers were super friendly and helpful. Cons - the service at the restaurant is unbearably slow, like the slowest service I have ever had anywhere, the drinks would arrive after the meal was finished. For cocktails in the lounge area be prepared to wait an hour. The pricing is so ominous and deceptive, not sure if this is intentional. For example, you just walk out of the restaurant without signing a check or making sure your bill was correct. Our folio had two massages added ( we never got massages) and if I didn’t really look at the detail would have been charged for something I never received. Another small but annoying example, there was a laundry basket, not bag, a basket in the room, I used it to separate the dirty clothes for packing later and there wasn’t any signage or communication that it would be taken for dry cleaning, it was and I was charged. Also with the car service, had no idea it was an extra charge. The rooms were hot at night and the thermostat didn’t really seem to change the temp.

Amangani restaurant was really nice! We enjoyed the fondue and the mushroom as appetizers, then. I split the chicken breast and veal which tasted and looked like schnitzel. It was all absolutely delicious and nothing was left unfinished! There was an extensive wine and liquor menu as well with some local beers and delicious cocktails. It certainly wasn't inexpensive but would absolutely recommend if you're staying on the Butte!
