I am afraid it's game over.

Like after Aman Tokyo ' s official opening , some guests are descending on Amano'i in the next few days / week .. If any of you reading this are here too , it will be interesting
, but being a widespread property , you may not see anyone anyway , perhaps at the restaurant

Adrian Zecha was also on the scene. We hear he’s now planning 12 new Aman and Setai locations with chairman Omar Amanat.

In early 2014, a group of investors acquired Aman Resorts which owns or operates 26 ultra-luxury resorts worldwide that also comprise numerous luxurious villas and residences at these locations.

Moreover we are charged with existing asset restructurings, review of sales and marketing, redesign of group structure, underwriting of new projects.
Added Value
On going mandate since early 2014. Details confidential. Aman’s press releases will illustrate progress
internos also advised doronin re aman board/CEO/court
