Good to Know

Airelles Château de Versailles, Le Grand Contrôle

  • A dedicated "Majordome" (private butler) coordinates every aspect of your stay from unpacking to private museum viewings.
  • Book three-Michelin-starred restaurant tables at the exact time of suite reservation.
  • Private VIP airport tarmac and helicopter transfers are seamlessly coordinated.

Aman Tokyo

  • Musashi by Aman is the hardest reservation in the hotel by far — request it when you book your room, not after arrival, given how few counter seats it holds each night.
  • Aman Tokyo shares its Kerry Hill design lineage with Aman Kyoto and Amanpuri; guests who know either property will recognise the material language immediately.
  • Otemachi is a business district that empties out on weekends and after dark — quiet in a way that suits the hotel's register, but plan an evening in Ginza (a five-minute taxi) if you want street-level energy.
  • The onsen-style spa pool is naturally lit and genuinely rare for central Tokyo — worth booking a treatment around daylight hours rather than in the evening.
