Imagine a city where living spaces are a precious commodity, where even bedrooms are a coveted luxury. That’s Tokyo, where an average apartment can cost over £7,000 per square meter. But amidst this urban density, a haven of serenity has emerged – Janu Tokyo, the latest offering from the renowned Aman hotel group.
A Fusion of East Meets West
Stepping into Janu Tokyo is like entering a realm where tradition and modernity dance in harmony. The lobby welcomes you with elegance; washi-style screens, rope ceilings, and a black granite reception desk evoke the essence of Japanese design. Yet, this isn’t just a typical Japanese hotel. Six distinct restaurants, a bar, and a patisserie transport you across the globe, each offering a unique culinary journey. From a New York-style grill serving tender Shimane prefecture sirloin to a red-lacquered Chinese restaurant boasting the best Chinese cuisine I’ve ever tasted, Janu Tokyo caters to every palate.
Spacious Comfort: A Retreat in the Heart of the City
Recognizing the value of space in Tokyo, 90% of the 122 rooms boast private balconies, offering a breath of fresh air in the bustling city. Each elegant bedroom is a masterpiece of design, blending Japanese and international influences. Jean-Michel Gathy, the visionary architect, has seamlessly merged old and new, creating spacious open-plan suites that transform with the movement of washi-paper walls. The rooms are a haven of comfort, filled with exquisitely scented bath salts, pristine cotton pyjamas, and a sense of tranquility that shields you from the city’s din.
A Wellness Oasis: Rejuvenate Your Mind and Body
Janu Tokyo’s wellness area is a sanctuary of its own, spanning four floors and offering an experience unlike any other. This second-largest wellness area in Japan is open not only to hotel guests but also to residents of the luxury apartments above. Prepare to be amazed by the triple-height glass-walled pool, the spacious steamrooms, saunas, and ice baths, the 340 square meter gym, and the five movement studios where private trainers guide you towards fitness. Seven treatment rooms and two private wellness areas, one with a hammam and the other a sauna, complete this unparalleled wellness oasis.
A Sanctuary for the Weary Traveler
After a long journey, the airy, sunlight-flooded wellness area is a welcome respite. Even amidst the joyful energy of children splashing in the pool, the space radiates calm, offering the perfect antidote to jet lag. Whether you choose a soothing camomile tea or a melatonin pill, Janu Tokyo provides the comfort you need to adjust to the city’s rhythm.
Janu Tokyo is a testament to the power of design and a celebration of urban luxury. It’s a place where tradition and modernity intertwine, offering a haven of comfort and rejuvenation in the heart of one of the world’s most vibrant cities.
