The luxury hotelier's new concept will offer an experience that is more fun, less secluded but no less luxurious to travellers

One of the most luxurious hotel companies in the world, Aman, has announced that it will be launching a sister brand, Janu. While sharing Aman's philosophy of exceptional design that's deeply rooted in each property's respective destinations, Janu will offer its guests a more lively, less secluded luxury travel experience.

While many of Aman’s properties are designed in a way that any interaction with other guests is minimal, if not non-existent, Janu differs from Aman with an emphasis on connectedness and community with an approach they’ve coined as “social wellness”. This includes group-focused fitness classes, and public spaces “designed in a way that will encourage connectedness between guests.”

Janu will also have larger room counts compared to Aman’s more limited, boutique-style offerings, and a lower—though still premium—price point.

“We saw a white space in the market, and we want to push the hotel industry into a new sphere,” says Chairman and CEO Vladislav Doronin. “What with today’s modern fast-paced society, which has seen human connection and communication redefined by the digital world, we wanted to create a new hotel brand with a soul and with the aim of kick-starting human interaction again.”
