A 25-minute drive separates
the city of Page, Arizona, from
this unique hotel owned by
the Aman brand. Amangiri—
which means "peaceful
mountain"—is nestled in a
600-acre protected valley in
Canyon Point. e site offers a
breathtaking panorama toward
the Grand Staircase-Escalante
National Monument. Set
against the backdrop of a
rock escarpment and built
around a central swimming
pool, the hotel blends with
its surroundings, thanks to
the inspiring vision of the
three individual firms that
collaborated to give life to this
remarkable project: Marwan
Al Sayed Inc., Wendell
Burnette Architects and
Studio Rick Joy—who named
themselves I-10 Studio for the
duration of the design and
execution of Amangiri.
