Today: How to get maximum value when booking an Aman Hotel?
Aman is one of the world's most exclusive hotel brands, offering travel experiences unrivaled anywhere else. Meticulously designed to frame their natural or urban settings, Aman hotels are renowned for breathtaking locations, locally inspired architecture, and ultimate privacy. Each welcomes guests as if to the home of a close friend, instilling a sense of peace and belonging amid some of the most diverse natural and historical landscapes. It is an approach that has changed little since 1988 when the first retreat was built on Phuket's west coast. It was named Amanpuri, meaning 'place of peace', and Aman was born. Today, embracing more than 30 ultra-luxe hotels in 20 countries, Aman continues to seek out transformative experiences and awe-inspiring locations around the world. Among Aman's habitués is a group of passionate repeat customers – self-proclaimed 'Aman junkies' (count me in) – who rave about the service and design aesthetic and whose travel plans are determined by Aman locations.
But with the group's stellar reputation also comes a heavy price tag and staying at an Aman Hotel requires deep pockets (with entry room rates well above $1000 USD per night at most properties). Unfortunately, Aman does not have a loyalty program, probably because their wealthy and loyal guests keep returning anyway. In addition, the brand does not compromise on exclusivity as you cannot book Aman hotels other than via the Aman website, luxury travel agents and some credit card companies (more on that below). So, it doesn't make sense to start looking for the rate of an Aman Hotel on aggregator websites like Hotelscombined and Trivago, since Aman won't pop up in the search results anyway. However, there are some tips & tricks that can save you a few hundred dollars per night when staying at an Aman Hotel. I hereby share with you the three best strategies – at least in my opinion – for booking a room (or even suite) at an Aman property. You can share your own tips in the comments.
