Good to Know
Aman Kyoto
- Request a pre-dawn or after-hours garden walk with a staff guide — the property's forest setting is best experienced without other guests around.
- About 20 minutes by car from Kyoto Station, closer to the city than most guests expect given the forest setting.
- This was one of architect Kerry Hill's final projects before his death in 2018; the hotel opened posthumously in 2019.
Amangiri
- The Camp Sarika tented annex next door adds 10 further suites for guests who want even more isolation.
- Closest airport is Page, Arizona (40 minutes); Las Vegas is a 4.5-hour drive.
- The resort runs guided hikes into Grand Staircase-Escalante that are hard to arrange independently.
