Restaurant in the Dining Pavilion will be a landmark addition to one of Japan’s most celebrated gastronomical regions. Showcasing the unique culinary tradition of Japanese haute cuisine, multi-course dining experiences

Living Pavilion with its central fireplace and glass doors opening onto an ornate garden terrace will be no less inspired. Serving home-cooked Kyoto obanzai style cuisine throughout the day, guests can also enjoy afternoon tea and reserve bamboo picnic hampers

garden spaces dotted around Aman Kyoto are perfect for outdoor events – from small private dinners

Amankora in Bhutan, where Hill personally selected the five lodges sites...took some 15 years. Secondly, a resort in Kyoto, originally touted as the Amaniwa. Hill was first introduced to the site one snowy January morning and recommended it to Zecha who visited the following week. Only 20 years later has construction commenced.

A frequent visitor to Japan since 1975, Hill

Impressed by his work, Zecha – who was just starting out with Regent Hotels at the time – pushed a few projects his way. Hill describes him as a patron and good friend; only a narrow lane separates the gardens of their homes in Singapore.
