The details are everything. Especially at Aman Tokyo where even the delicate plaster rosettes dotting the halls tell a story about Japanese culture. These flowers tap into the plaster tradition of sakan. Such touches offer a counterpoint to the ultra-modern luxury of the rooms and amenities, as well as the unparalleled views of the city itself…and on a clear day, the snow-capped peaks of Mount Fuji in the distance because the resort is located on the top six floors of the Otemachi Tower.

The delicate push and pull of old and new is what makes Aman Tokyo so in-demand — and near impossible to book during high seasons like when the cherry blossoms are blooming. The hotel itself is situated steps away from the famous Imperial Palace Gardens and Edo Castle and the modern hustle of the Ginza shopping district. Design elements mix clean, minimal lines with classic shoji screens separating spaces.

But the point of an Aman is being at and within an Aman, and here, breathing room takes on new meaning, from those city views to the height and breadth of ceilings and halls. And did we mention those views of Tokyo?
