We haven't been to Aman Venice yet (will remedy that in a month) but I must admit neither Tokyo nor, in particular, ASP have been among our Aman favorites. We have almost universally preferred the non-city properties (with the exception of Fayun)
To me ASP felt cold and service was lacklustre; it was after Mark S had moved to Indo, which may have had something to do with it. Agree that the duck was good though.
In Tokyo we LOVED the hardware (we had a beautiful suite) but service was a big let-down with little attention to detail and a significant logistical concierge flub (I think I wrote about it here somewhere..) This was just over 2 years ago when Jeffrey Seward was GM so I assume things may have changed (although maybe not so much based on feedback here...)
We did love Delhi though, what seems like aeons ago. Possibly because it was our first Aman. Or possibly because we were arriving from trekking in the Himalayas so anything with a hot shower would have been impressive.
