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.

Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, Baillie Lodges

  • Private floatplane charters, helicopter transfers, and boat pickups coordinate directly with lodge operations.
  • Bespoke guided excursions, wildlife safaris, and wine tastings are pre-arranged with your private host.
  • Pack comfortable layering attire, hiking footwear, and outdoor gear for wilderness adventures.
