Starting with creating an extraordinary experience in the secret realm, Aman's territory has been expanding over the past 30 years. In addition to the expansion version, in addition to the city hotel and Skincare products, it also designs with interactive vitality as the main axis and actively establishes a new brand Janu. The first hotel is located in Tokyo, Japan. The first “Janu Tokyo” is expected to open in March this year. Those who have plans to visit Tokyo can look forward to it. The word Janu comes from the “soul” in Sanskrit. Compared with the retirement emphasized by Aman, Janu attempts to achieve invisibility balance with “connection”, that is, the dynamics of interpersonal interactions. The opening of Janu Tokyo is located in Azabudai Hills. It was developed by Mori Building Co. Ltd, the leading urban developer in Japan. After 30 years of preparation and planning, it has created 122 spacious rooms, combined with a vibrant dining venue and one of the largest health facilities in the city, creating a balance between realizing self-worth and relaxation. Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman and Janu, said: “Janu provides Aman’s signature excellent service and design, with different rhythms and temperaments. Our first destination should be dynamic and vibrant with the brand. As an important part of the Amabu Tai Hill project, Janu Tokyo sets the benchmark for the brand and all future Janu projects. At the same time, with an ideal flagship property like Janu Tokyo, we can directly access a vibrant community and a new cultural and artistic center.”
