Aman Signs Two New Properties in Tokyo, Japan

Aman has signed its very first residence-only development.

The Aman Residences, Tokyo will be located in the Toranomon-Azabudai development which will also house Japan's first Janu hotel - Aman's sister brand.

As an 8.1-hectare hub, the 30 year-old Toranomon-Azabudai project, where both properties will be based, is due for completion in 2023.

The hotel and residences project heralds a collaboration between Aman and one of Japan’s leading developers, Mori Building.

The Aman Residences, Tokyo will claim the top 11 floors (54 to 64) of the soaring tower, one of three in the development. Taller than any other residential property in central Tokyo, the building, known as ‘A District Tower’, is designed by the preeminent architects of Malaysia’s iconic Petronas Towers, Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects.

The urban residences will offer just 91 exclusive homes, designed by Yabu Pushelberg, as well as lifestyle services and a residents-only 1,400 sqm Aman Spa.

Vladislav Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman and Janu, said, “Launching our first urban Aman Residences in Japan is a milestone moment in the history of Aman and speaks to our brand’s close relationship and symbiosis with this country and its incredibly special culture. Working with leading developers Mori Building, and being part of the Toranomon-Azabudaiproject, will enable us to bring to life Aman’s fifth development within Japan, this time offering a permanent sanctuary for owners as well as exclusive access to the Aman lifestyle. Furthermore, it will provide the setting for Janu Tokyo. In this hub of culture and art, we want to connect guests to the heart of this vibrant community and offer a chance for creative expression.”

Janu, the sister brand of Aman, is a hotel brand which will bring a contemporary and playful spirit to the Toranomon-Azabudai development.

Representing the brand’s inaugural city hotel, Janu Tokyo will comprise of 120 guest rooms and suites and will occupy a prime position facing the project’s central square within a building identified as the ‘B-2 District Tower’.

The hotel will be designed by Denniston under the leadership of Jean-Michel Gathy.

Home to a 3,500m² Janu Spa featuring extensive wellness facilities, the property will also offer six dining outlets and bars.

Shingo Tsuji, President and CEO of Mori Building, said, “Tokyo must add to its magnetic power if it is to succeed in its competition with the world’s greatest cities. Mori Building is joining hands with Aman, which operates diverse world-class resorts, to provide a world-leading residential environment and hotel unlike anything ever seen in Tokyo, where people will achieve harmony with nature as well as connect with and inspire others through creativity. By realizing this new form of ‘urban wellness,’ Mori Building will enhance Tokyo's magnetic power.”
