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.

Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur

  • Private 24-hour butler service is attentive and anticipatory—they can arrange private palace tours and boat excursions.
  • Book private dining setups (by the pool or on a lakeside terrace) well in advance of arrival.
  • Confirm direct transfers from regional airports for seamless luggage handling and royal garland greetings.
