Luxury Hotels & Stays

Aman Tokyo

Tokyo, Japan

Aman Tokyo occupies the top six floors of the Otemachi Tower, and the arrival is the point: a lift opens onto a thirty-metre atrium of washi paper and dark timber, silent above the city. Rooms are the largest in Tokyo and are built around the view — the Imperial Palace gardens on one side, Mount Fuji on a clear winter morning on the other. The spa runs across two floors, and the 30-metre pool is walled in glass on both sides.

Amangiri

Canyon Point, Utah · United States

A serene sanctuary, Amangiri’s 34 modernist suites, Aman Spa and mesa-embracing pool echo the tranquillity of the canyons. Camp Sarika, with its 10 tented pavilions, answers the region’s call to adventure. An unrivalled base for exhilarating expeditions and fireside connection, the camp has its own restaurant, lounge and spa suites.

Awasi Patagonia

Torres del Paine, Patagonia

Awasi gives each of its twelve villas a dedicated guide and 4x4, which changes what a stay in Torres del Paine can be. There is no group schedule: you decide the night before whether tomorrow is the base of the towers, a puma tracking morning, or nothing at all. The villas look across the Sarmiento lake to the massif, each with a wood-burning stove and an outdoor hot tub.

Belmond Hotel Cipriani

Venice, Italy

The Cipriani sits on the tip of Giudecca with something almost nothing in Venice has — space. Three acres of garden, the city's only Olympic-length pool, and a vineyard that supplies the kitchen. The hotel's launch runs to San Marco around the clock and takes three minutes, which means you can be in the Piazza at seven in the morning before the crowds and back for breakfast under the pergola.
