Aman, a renowned luxury hospitality group, has ventured into new territory with the opening of Janu Tokyo, the first property under the Janu flag. While Aman has already captivated luxury travelers with its exclusive retreats, Janu aims to attract a different audience by offering a more energetic and playful experience. Unlike Aman’s traditional exclusivity, Janu hotels strive to be more inclusive and integrated with the community.
At Janu Tokyo, located in central Tokyo’s Azabudai Hills development, the hotel features eight food and beverage outlets open to both guests and the public. In contrast to Aman’s muted aesthetic, Janu embraces vibrant colors and patterns. Additionally, Janu properties have a higher room count than Aman, catering to a broader clientele. Despite these differences, both brands prioritize exceptional service and wellness offerings.
Central to the Janu experience is the 43,000-square-foot Janu Wellness Centre at Janu Tokyo, which includes amenities such as a gym, two pools, a boxing studio, and private spa houses with traditional banya and hammam facilities. This focus on wellness aligns with Aman’s commitment to promoting well-being among its guests. As Janu expands into resort and urban markets, this dedication to wellness is set to remain a cornerstone of the brand.
The future looks promising for Janu, with a robust pipeline of 12 properties in development. Much like Aman loyalists who seek out various Aman-branded properties, Janu aims to create a similar sense of connection and loyalty among its guests. Through unique experiences and exceptional service, Janu hopes to become a beloved brand that guests will eagerly collect experiences with.
In addition to the launch of Janu, Aman is diversifying its portfolio by entering the cruise segment with Aman at Sea, a joint venture with Cruise Saudi, owned by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Set to debut in 2027, Aman at Sea will feature a 50-suite luxury vessel offering a private super yacht-like experience. With flexible arrival and departure dates, guests can enjoy a customized itinerary connecting various Aman resorts seamlessly.
Aman at Sea aims to redefine the traditional cruise experience by incorporating Aman’s signature style and hospitality. The vessel will boast multiple dining venues, an Aman Spa, a Japanese garden, and two helipads, providing guests with unparalleled luxury at sea. Aman’s innovative approach to cruising seeks to prioritize guest comfort, creativity, and exploration.
Aman’s foray into the Janu brand and the cruise industry reflects its commitment to evolution and excellence in luxury travel. By offering diverse experiences that cater to different traveler preferences, Aman continues to set new standards in the hospitality industry. Both Janu Tokyo and Aman at Sea signify exciting new chapters for the brand, promising unforgettable experiences for luxury travelers around the world.
