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.
Borgo Egnazia
- Private transfers (via helicopter, private boat, or chauffeured vehicle) coordinate directly with resort concierges.
- Bespoke equestrian rides, truffle hunting, and private wine cellar tastings are pre-arranged with your host.
- Pack elegant smart casual evening attire and comfortable footwear for exploring historic stone grounds.
