Bathrooms have island tubs, big showerts, plus dressing area with Ming style closets. The Imperial Suite has 3 separate buildings, so good for a business get-together. It even has its own spa room.
Restaurants - the Lounge, overlooking traditional courtyard - all-day dining.
Naoki - like Amanpuri, Japanese/French Kaseki food inspired by Naoki Okumura.
The Grill - Western food, beef, lamb, fish, but also open for breakfast.
The Chinese Restaurant - broken up into 9 separate units, so very private.
Plus The Spa, Fitness (including indoor lap pool), Library, boutique and all the other Aman things.
Opening end September if all goes well.
Thanks for the info! So it seems this property has 43 rooms? The difference in the accommodations seem to break from most of the Amans I have visited, in which the actual rooms are generally identical or very similar, but the size and/or facilities of the outdoor areas are different, i.e. sea-view, mountain-view, pool, etc. But this being really a city hotel, I can understand why they made the choice of having more pronounced options in terms of room selections.
I've received word from the Amanpulo that my request for dinner reservations and a site tour has been forwarded to the Sales Manager there so hopefully I will be able to see the property for myself in August!
