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.
Reid's Palace, A Belmond Hotel
William is Tuesday–Saturday dinner only — plan your week around it, not the other way around.
Afternoon tea is not optional marketing; book a seating the day you arrive.
Smallest double rooms are genuinely small by modern luxury standards — upgrade to Junior Suite for stays over three nights.
Madeira Airport (FNC) is about 20 minutes; central Funchal about 10.
