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.
Splendido, A Belmond Hotel
The hotel is seasonal — typically spring through autumn. Confirm open dates before anchoring a trip to a specific week.
You are above the village, not in it; the complimentary shuttle to Splendido Mare on the piazzetta is how you reach harbour-level shops and restaurants without a water taxi fight.
Genoa Airport is about one hour; Santa Margherita Ligure is the practical rail head for train arrivals.
La Terrazza sunset tables are the reservation that defines the stay — lock them early.
