Just another example of Aman following the herd rather than leading it like it used to. How not novel: another resort in Cabo.

True. But it must be galling to forego all those high-value guests from LA and Silicon Valley. Expect that is the draw for Aman.

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/luxu...l#post10423761
could be that finance industry is not doing standalone aman style
lehman may have single handedly expanded luxury resort industry

six senses >
open - uluwatu / fjii
dec - cambodia island / courchevel
jan / mar - bhutan - ex aman mark swinton

1976 - orient express
1979 - rosewood
1985 - mandarin oriental
1986 - rafael

from stories here, the 'golden eras' sounded pretty great

I’m always surprised when I recall that the St Regis brand really began in 1999 when the second St Regis opened in DC. That’s pretty young!

1988 - Amanresorts (after Adrian Zecha, Georg Rafael & Bob Burns sold Regent International)

And yes, the golden eras were pretty great!
