BIG news is that Tracy Atherton, who has been GM at Amankila for 9 years is leaving Aman to open a 68-room hotel in Canberra Australia.

Sat but true for us , especially Amanjunkies - thrilled for Tracy
Will sure miss her cheerful welcomes & competent management/ development of of our Manggis ' home '

Perhaps another Aussie Aman will open up near there

March 9, 2010
Supervisor Mole attended a meeting with the Towns of Andes & Delhi, Andy Wos from Broadlands and an engineer that has been hired regarding the Aman Resort. The developers want to name a lead agency. The County Planning Department can't be a lead agency. Nicole Franzese will speak to each Planning Board in the towns affected.

March 8, 2010
The Board discussed the renewed interest of a development for Broadlands and reviewed the map. The Board plans on hearing more about the development in the future.

In December 2006...sold for a published $10 million. The listed buyer was ADG Broadlands LLC of Los Angeles with ties to the famed Amanresorts...Adrian Zecha had visited the estate earlier in the decade and almost purchased it then but backed off the deal.
http://www.thefullwiki.org/Amanresorts
low key article citing the sale remarked "Amanresorts owner Adrian Zecha has reportedly visited the site a number of times and is excited about its development potential"

Far as I know, it's already open. Not sure of it has received any guests though, apart from officials! It opened a while ago, but then closed again after a tourist was shot at the border. Is there a huge incentive to go?

Hey, in the press release there is talk of a Chedi Hawaii!!!
"Ando is also at work on a GHM property in Kona, Hawaii."

So Kage was right when he first mentioned it in February!

And one personal thing to add: Tadao Ando totally rocks. We visited his museums at Naoshima Island, and they were the most outstanding architectural experiences I ever had on the world...

Hawaii will be huge. Sorry to say it, but I'm getting a bit tired with the Maui and Kona FS properties. Hawaii needs an infusion of true high end luxury in addition to those two properties...

Totally agree with you. Doesn't look as though Aman are venturing back, as Monty Brown has actually retired so is not, as rumoured, working on an Aman Hawaii. A GHM would be good, so let's hope it works out.
