It is the old Phousi Hotel and will not become an Amanclone, but will be more of a simple, albeit well run hotel, rather like the old Serai in Bali - which AZ used to call a 3-star, but was anything but.
No more high prices, either - very affordable accommodation with caring staff, in true Amanresorts style. This is AZ's new mantra.

I can envisage the next destinations after LP , to be in Sri Lanka and Cuba .
Now if you could just share its new name , after all its just us here and we won't tell , ok ?

presumably shanghai late 2017, perhaps kyoto (aman still has stake?) late 2018
departures had an article on developer of aman shanghai, conserving trees/houses
i wonder if BTG did lend to GHM, and chedi china (and ahn luh) deal is connected

Since I am a few blocks up , no more sleepless in Seattle but under the weather in NYC , UES , I should take a Sunday stroll to check it out - supposed to be a stormy Sunday so we shall see . It was actually my stays at Puri that brought me to the city again , since there were links back then .
Was parking myself at MONY ( lovely views from rooms I have been in plus similar to LandmarkMO being in a mixed complex . Checked it out again this time & glad I did ) while it was being refurbished here - some of you know where " here " is .
Pleased now to return & relieved that the new team is still warm though not quite Aman

I will split my stays , perhaps even 3 ways if I decide on hotels & not at home .
But with yesterday's parade road closures , getting to & from it certain Sunday's or parade days can pose a challenge . Was going to return to get a photo taken but it certainly was not possible with winds gusting & the rain being blown horizontally !

Ahn Luh Lanting in Shaoxing, Zhejiang province, and Ahn Luh Zhujiajiao on the outskirts of Shanghai are cooperations between the Indonesian hotel brand and Qin Tongqian, a collector of old houses and furniture with thousands of pieces that are decades or even centuries old in his warehouse.
