AMAN FOR ALL SEASONS

Ancient Kyoto will be given the Aman touch later this year with the scheduled opening of Aman Kyoto in November. The third bespoke hotel in Aman’s portfolio of exquisite Japanese retreats, alongside Aman Tokyo and Amanemu on Ise Shima’s Bay of Pearls, the new Kyoto property will be nestled in a once-forgotten secret garden close to Kinkaku-ji Temple (Golden Pavilion), one of the city’s most beautiful landmarks. The design of the resort’s 24 guest rooms and two two-bedroom villas will draw on Japan’s ryokan (traditional inn) and onsen (hot spring) rituals, offering an authentic yet contemporary Kyoto sanctuary surrounded by nature. aman.com/kyoto
