The Art of Omotenashi
Service distilled from an artform
To plan your stay, contact our multilingual Reservations team or check availability.
An approach defined as much by feeling as it is by form, omotenashi, Japan’s art of hospitality, was derived from the ritual of the tea ceremony in the 16th-century. Born from a desire to be of service, acting with anticipation, respect and selflessness, today, this precious philosophy acts as Aman’s guide across the globe, distilling a style of service for which the brand has become renowned.

Sanctuaries of Stillness
Spaces shaped by ritual
Nature in Japan is admired for its impermanence. Cherry blossoms bloom, autumn leaves burn bright and snow falls soft on towering peaks. And then, in somewhat reassuring rhythm, they disappear again for another year. Across Aman's constellation, these patterns shape the experience. From architecture and design to cuisine and wellness, Aman's sanctuaries respond to the changing seasons, creating spaces that come alive through omotenashi's respect for time, place and the world's transient nature.
Culinary Gestures
Beyond the plate
More than sustenance, to dine in Japan is to trust the chef, to experience the season and to appreciate fine craft. At Aman Tokyo, master sushi chef Musashi presents a daily omakase shaped by the market’s finest offerings and his own hand-harvested rice. This deeply moving experience extends to Aman New York and Aman Nai Lert Bangkok, where dining becomes yet another expression of omotenashi: intimate, considered and expressive.
Healing rituals
Wellness beyond the physical
Japanese wellness is rooted in presence. From onsen bathing and tea rituals to Zen meditation and seasonal spa journeys, an invitation to slow down and reconnect is extended. Across the Aman globe, wellness experiences draw on this philosophy, engaging the senses and calming the mind, offering far more than simply physical benefits. Aman Tokyo's Signature Spa Journey, combining Shiatsu massage and camphor-infused body scrub, offers a thoughtful application of holistic wellbeing. In turn, wellness too becomes an extension of omotenashi, nurturing with intention.
