Slated to open in September 2008, The Aman will be Amanresort’s first city property, the gateway to the Aman experience in northern India. Expect private plunge pools and all sorts of high-tech accoutrements. Located at the edge of New Delhi near Humayun’s Tomb (pictured) and Purana Qila (a fortress dating from 1400 B.C.), the nine-story hotel will have 29 rooms."
This is exciting news. We'll be in India visiting Aman-i-Khas and Amanbagh in December/January. Right now we're booked into the Imperial but this sounds great. Any guesses as to when they'll start taking reservations?
Also curious about the resort's location on the "edge of New Delhi." How far off the beaten path is this? Will we be able to enjoy the city from this location, or would we be stuck on the outskirts limiting ourselves to the nearby monuments and whatever the property itself has to offer?
