Janu unveils its inaugural hotel in Tokyo - The beating heart of a new urban community

Janu, meaning 'soul' in Sanskrit, opens its inaugural hotel in Tokyo today, marking the inception of a robust and expanding pipeline of 12 properties. Reshaping the luxury hospitality landscape, Janu draws from the legacy of its revered sibling, Aman, while charting its own unique course with an innovative and inspiring vision. In harmony with Aman yet offering a distinctive touch, Janu radiates an uplifting spirit and playful design narrative, in contrast to the serene tranquillity and calming zen for which Aman is renowned. Put simply, if Aman is sanctuary, then Janu is connection. The launch of Janu Tokyo solidifies Aman Group's position as the pinnacle of ultra-luxury hospitality and lifestyle experiences.
