Janu Tokyo
Janu opened its inaugural hotel in Tokyo earlier this month, marking the inception of a robust and expanding pipeline of 12 properties. With the goal of reshaping the luxury hospitality landscape, Janu draws from the legacy of its sibling, Aman, while charting its own unique course with an innovative vision.
Set within a landmark building in the heart of a new neighborhood, Azabudai Hills, the new Janu Tokyo offers 122 guest rooms and suites, eight restaurants and lounges and a 43,000-sf spa and wellness center featuring equipment touted as the first of its kind in a Tokyo hotel.

JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa
Newly reopened for the 2024 season, the 266-room JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa—located in the Mediterranean setting of the Isola delle Rose and just a few minutes by
boat from Piazza San Marco—just reopened for the season and will again offer experiences focused on relaxation, wellness and fine dining.
Recreation is a focus this season with two new paddle courts debuting in June, which will also be available to offsite guests. A dedicated recreation team can arrange a variety of outdoor activities, including excursions, fitness and yoga classes, designed for the fun and well-being of all guests.
Sustainability is another priority in 2024, with the JW Garden producing fresh vegetables and herbs for the resort’s gourmet restaurant Agli Amici Dopolavoro and other dining venues, while the recent installation of photovoltaic panels—covering about 70 percent of the island’s electricity needs—makes the JW Marriott Venice Resort one of Venice’s pioneers in the field of renewable energy.
