Is this fake news about VD being one of the original Amanjunkies? I say this because many ex-Amanresorts GMs had never heard of him, let alone met him, before he took over the company. I gather he was fond of Amanpuri, but he certainly had not visited many of the other Amanresorts, such as Amanpulo, which he finally visited quite a long time after acquiring Aman.
Maybe we should not believe everything we read...

I don’t care about the motivation for his action as much the result. The result has been a sharp change in ethos at many Aman properties, combined with a significantly different interest in much higher occupancy, along with the direction for new property development.

people to ask: varnier (anantara layan) and lark
seems many were regulars of puri but not others
big residences at yara (and zoe) came much later
many still not developing planned residences..
maybe will help finance aman tibet etc
or add trongsa lodge to amankora
did add pool to one amankora lodge
zecha signed aman tokyo (and GHM setai miami)
(kind of like isadore sharp wanting disney world)
prior amans in cities were only small historical
2004 GHM setai opened (~250 too big for aman)
2007 DLF acquired aman
2008 summer palace beijing opened
2009 tokyo signed
2010 fayun opened, lijiang first mentioned here
2011 yangyun signed then named in 2013
2012 ise (nemu) first mentioned here

Anyone know what this ATMA thing is about (Aman events)? Totally random and bizarre. First event in Venice.
(Just received a press release from Aman - it had been in the works etc but I’m still confused what it’s actually supposed to accomplish. Also, “globally renowned DJs” - as per the release - is not really something I associate with Aman. An EDM festival or Coachella yes...)

What I heard about this year's NYE festivities at Puri might have been an omen in retrospect...

Can someone please remind someone at Aman that the word “Aman” is rooted in Sanskrit origin, meaning peace, not latest pop and EDM hits and beat drops?

aman can be unique re buyouts
but not good when not requiring

Wonder who is behind Atma Events Holding...
Someone inSingapore London is thinking really hard how they can most effectively shatter previous idea, image and following of Aman.

All these efforts of making the Aman brand more accessible (city destinations, Aman skincare, 2 global cookie-cutter restaurants Arva and Nama, lifestyle/party events) are having the opposite effect on me...

In 2008, the restoration of the historic Cucchini shipyard has converted industrial premises into an important exhibition space and venue
Since 1980 the Arsenale has become the exhibition site of La Biennale
Since 1999, a program for the enhancement of the area has been opened, which has allowed to open to the public
