The Best Hotels Near Amangiri, by the Record

The resort is poured into a canyon floor in the Four Corners desert, its low concrete pavilions shaped around a natural rock outcropping so the land stays the main event. Amangiri is a remote luxury resort on 600 acres of Utah scrubland, the kind of place where the silence is the amenity. It holds a spot on the World's 50 Best Hotels list. Slot canyons and mesa views come standard; crowds do not.

Glamping, done with a straight face: safari-style tents with real beds and en-suite bathrooms, set in the redrock quiet between Lake Powell's marina and the vast, barely-charted Grand Staircase-Escalante. Under Canvas has built the same formula near national parks across the country, and it works because the surrounding landscape does most of the heavy lifting. A Michelin Selected Hotel, for anyone keeping score.
