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.
Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona
Setting: Passeig de Gracia in the Eixample, within walking distance of major Modernista buildings and the old-city edge.
Fans of M.O. benefits require membership and, for selectable stay privileges, an eligible direct booking.
Restaurant, spa and seasonal resort schedules can change; verify them on the official property page for the intended dates.
Summary
