Aman Tokyo

Tokyo, Japan · Aman Collection

From the moment the elevator opens onto the 33rd floor, Aman Tokyo feels less like a hotel and more like a private residence suspended above the city.

From the moment the elevator opens onto the 33rd floor, Aman Tokyo feels less like a hotel and more like a private residence suspended above one of the world's most dynamic cities. Kerry Hill's design draws from traditional Japanese residential architecture — washi paper, hinoki wood, black granite — reinterpreted at a monumental scale. The lobby's soaring atrium sets a tone of restrained grandeur that never tips into spectacle. This is a property defined by silence, proportion, and craft.
