In a highly anticipated move, Aman, renowned for its opulent resorts, is set to unveil Janu, a new brand that promises a different approach to luxury. Janu, conceived with a younger, socially-inclined traveler in mind, stands as a sibling brand to Aman's exclusive offerings.
Vlad Doronin, the visionary leader behind Aman and Janu, emphasizes that Janu aims to foster a vibrant, socially-engaging atmosphere. Unlike Aman's focus on secluded sanctuaries, Janu puts community at the forefront of its ambition.
With 122 rooms, Janu Tokyo presents a departure from Aman's typically smaller-scale establishments. Each room offers a private balcony, providing sweeping views of Tokyo Tower, ensuring an unforgettable urban experience. Nestled in the Azabudai Hills development, a brief stroll from the bustling Roppongi district, the hotel spans 13 floors of a building crafted by the esteemed Pelli Clarke & Partners, with public spaces envisioned by the renowned Thomas Heatherwick. This architectural gem is situated within a sprawling 20-acre enclave, seamlessly blending urban greenery with futuristic, reflective facades, and will also be home to the esteemed Aman Residences, Tokyo, on its upper floors.
The culinary offerings at Janu Tokyo are nothing short of extraordinary. Featuring six distinct dining experiences, including an immersive omakase journey, a sizzling Japanese barbecue haven, and the lively and theatrical bistro, "The Grill," guests will embark on a gastronomic odyssey. A patisserie and a Chinese restaurant are also on the horizon, offering an array of delectable choices. Dining at Janu Tokyo transcends tradition, inviting conversations around culinary artistry. The restaurant designs reflect the brand's vision of uniting like-minded communities, boasting open kitchens, communal tables, and inviting shared spaces.
The pinnacle of Janu Tokyo lies in its wellness offerings, designed by the esteemed Jean-Michel Gathy. Interiors exude a seamless blend of sophistication and tranquility. The jewel in the crown is the sprawling 44,000-square-foot spa, complete with an inviting indoor heated pool. Here, travelers will converge, seeking not just relaxation but also connection, inspiration, and the joy of exploration. This communal space, strategically designed to serve as a hub for social interaction, is poised to resonate with the discerning Amanjunkies of the new generation.
With its fusion of contemporary design, culinary innovation, and a dedication to fostering connections, Janu Tokyo promises an experience that transcends the ordinary, setting a new standard for the global hospitality landscape. Prepare to embark on a journey where luxury meets community, where opulence meets accessibility, and where tradition meets reimagined excellence. Opening Fall 2023, Tokyo welcomes a new era in hospitality with open arms, and Janu Tokyo stands at its radiant forefront.
