Good to Know
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.
Auberge Discovery Bay Hong Kong
- Setting: the waterfront at Discovery Bay on Lantau Island, 25 minutes from Central by high-speed ferry.
- The official GHA brand page currently identifies Bangkok and Shanghai as participating hotels, not Auberge Discovery Bay. Confirm loyalty eligibility before booking.
- Discovery Bay transport rules and ferry schedules matter more here than at a central Hong Kong hotel.
