Tokyo was Aman’s first urban venture when it opened at the top of the Otemachi Tower in 2014 - and it certainly set the bar high. Inside, the design is as sleek and minimalist as those familiar with the brand would expect: the 33rd floor lobby is decorated with ikebana flower arrangements and a pair of rock gardens, while natural materials take centre stage in the ryokan-style rooms (think light wood walls, square stone baths, tatami mats and washi paper sliding doors). Floor-to-ceiling windows in all rooms capitalise on the magnificent views of the Tokyo skyline. Then there’s the sensational spa. Spread across two floors, it features Japanese hot baths, a steam room and signature treatments that are based on natural Kampo herbal therapies.
