Haha, well you may be right— but then I’ve never stayed at the one Iniala property and wouldn’t characterize any one property as an appropriate comparison benchmark. We are talking about a group of 30+ Aman properties. Iniala and other one off or “a few properties” portfolio groups are distinct IMO, much as too many would prefer to think otherwise. Iniala may be a benchmark in Asia, but until Iniala has properties in N. America and Europe, it’s not the benchmark you may wish it to be.

Just as @MacMyDay discovered that the Park Hotel Vitznau isn’t quite the same experience in peak season as off-peak season, too many Amanjunkies are realizing what has long been true that they pretended was not: occupancy matters. They also are discovering that urban Aman isn’t the same as rural/remote Aman as I said previously.
