Few names exude “quiet luxury” just like the ultra-luxe Aman Resorts.
Its hotels bear its moniker: from Amanoi in Vietnam, to Aman Sveti Stefan in Montenegro and the hotel that began all of it — Amanpuri in Phuket, Thailand.
Fans of the brands — often called ‘Aman Junkies’ — are accustomed to paying its top-dollar rates, which start at $3,200 per night at Aman Recent York, which opened in August 2022.
Nonetheless, travelers who don’t need to spend this much will soon have an alternative choice.
Aman is ready to open Janu Tokyo, the primary hotel from its recent more cost-effective sister brand, in March 2024.
Janu was created to answer demand from a wider cohort of guests, said Aman CEO Vlad Doronin. It’ll mirror Aman hotels in service and design, but can have a “different pace and spirit,” he said in a press release.
Inside Janu Tokyo
Janu Tokyo can have eight restaurants and a 4,000-square-meter wellness center equipped with a gym, a hydrotherapy and thermal area, hot and cold plunge pools and hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, based on the corporate.

Janu Tokyo spans 13 floors and houses 122 rooms and suites, that are designed, like Aman hotels, with a give attention to minimalism and symmetry.
The design has “a youthful energy, brimming with liveliness and playfulness that sets it other than the poised and composed character of Aman,” said Jean-Michel Gathy, the hotel’s interior designer who also designed many Aman hotels, plus the Maldives’ One&Only Reethi Rah and The St. Regis Lhasa in Tibet.
Most rooms include a non-public balcony, overlooking Azabudai Hills, a recent urban complex within the special ward of Minato City.
Cheaper?
Nightly rates at Janu Tokyo start from $944, based on the corporate.
Nonetheless, CNBC Travel was unable to seek out any rooms before August 2024 for lower than $1,000. Through the 2024 year-end peak season, rates for entry-level rooms jump to about $1,400 per night, excluding taxes, which is analogous to the price of an entry-level room at Amanoi in Vietnam through the same time period.
Twelve more Janu hotels are within the pipeline, based on the corporate, in places like in Saudi Arabia, Montenegro, Turks and Caicos, United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Portugal, Thailand, Turkey and Maldives.
