Luxury hospitality has long been synonymous with Aman Resorts, a brand renowned for its exclusivity and opulence. The Aman name has graced some of the world’s most prestigious hotel properties, from Amanoi in Vietnam to Aman Sveti Stefan in Montenegro, and the legendary Amanpuri in Phuket, Thailand. However, for travelers seeking a more affordable option without compromising on quality, Aman has an exciting solution in the form of its new sister brand, Janu.
Janu Tokyo, the inaugural hotel of the Janu brand, is set to open its doors in March 2024. Created in response to the evolving demands of a broader range of guests, Janu aims to offer the same level of exceptional service and design as its Aman counterparts but with a distinctive “pace and spirit,” according to Aman CEO Vlad Doronin.
Spanning 13 floors, Janu Tokyo houses 122 rooms and suites, boasting a sleek and minimalist aesthetic similar to that of Aman hotels. Renowned interior designer Jean-Michel Gathy, who has worked on several Aman properties, has injected the space with a youthful energy and playfulness that sets it apart from its sister brand. Most rooms offer private balconies with panoramic views of Azabudai Hills and the vibrant cityscape of Minato City.
While Janu Tokyo is marketed as a more affordable option, with starting rates at $944 per night, it’s worth noting that availability at lower prices may be limited during peak seasons. In fact, rates for entry-level rooms can reach up to $1,400 per night, excluding taxes, during year-end periods. Nevertheless, Janu Tokyo remains a compelling choice for those looking to experience the renowned Aman quality at a slightly more accessible price point.
The opening of Janu Tokyo is just the beginning of Aman’s ambitious plans for expansion. The brand has revealed that twelve additional Janu hotels are in the works across sought-after destinations such as Saudi Arabia, Montenegro, the Maldives, and more. With its fresh approach to luxury travel, Janu aims to cater to a wider audience while maintaining the timeless allure of the Aman experience.
