Thumbs down Shame on Aman

Welcome to FT valexaofstyle. I hope you will become a regular contributor on more pleasant happenings.

Of course Aman has no control over a decadent loud party, BUT they should have advised the guest BEFORE and offered relocation to a nearby place for a night - I am sure there are options and they could have made of a problem some positive experience.

Not doing so Aman failed, which does not surprise me in these parts of "Europe". Personally I think the Aman concept travels not so well outside Asia.

I would firmly ask the GM the full amount charged for that night to be waived letting politely understand him that this could be your last stay at an Aman.

I will certainly not go there, neither to their properties in Greece, but happily return to any of the 17 Asian Amans I have been. I think Aman should concentrate on locations and cultures where the idea has been born. The actual growth will not lead to any good.
