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.
La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel
Deià is a steep hillside village — if mobility is limited, request a room close to the main manor houses and confirm golf-cart or staff assistance.
Palma Airport (PMI) is about 45 minutes; Sóller is 20 minutes for a simpler day trip than driving into Palma.
The art programme is real — book a session with resident painter Alan Hydes or sculptor Juan Waelder early in the stay.
El Olivo is the one reservation that should be locked before you arrive in high season.
