You’d be surprised that some of the craftsmanship of the hard product is surprisingly shoddy, especially compared to other grand dames.
George V is my guess as well, which is still good, especially considering the market.

Aman Treatments
Are we supppsed to expect the actual massage/facial to last the full 60 minutes? A couple of times I've noticed we get to the spa at the apppointed time, then after a bit of a wait, changing etc, the treatment starts and is done 60 minutes or less after we first arrived at the spa, not 60 minutes after the actual treatment started. Is this standard/normal?

They have a similar thing at the Crillon in Paris - ancient skincare recipes. The problem is, they incorporate their usual range of 'skincare' brands into the treatments, so you have to be careful!
