The Original Aman
Claiming an entire peninsula and one of Phuket’s finest white sand beaches, Amanpuri offers the idyllic Thailand escape of days gone by.
Aman Kyoto’s Hotaru Rooms are west-facing and are located on both the ground and first floor. The ground floor rooms face the beautiful moss-covered garden and stone wall, while the first-floor rooms are ensconced on the mountainside with maple trees. Paying homage to the traditional Japanese Ryokan inn, the 60 square metres (646 square feet) combines a bedroom and living area, featuring natural woods, floor-to-ceiling windows, tatami flooring and a tokonoma alcove. The bathroom includes a Hinoki Japanese bath and two sinks, perfect for couples seeking a little more space.
