Janu Tokyo rooms will feature floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of Tokyo Tower and the surrounding greenery. There will be many options for connecting rooms in keeping with the brand’s focus on social connections.

Janu properties, which can be translated as "soul" from Sanskrit means an appreciation for cuisine, art, and design. This will be represented in Tokyo by six restaurants including two Japanese outlets, an Italian restaurant, a patisserie and a grill restaurant. A bar, lounge, and terrace with a garden will be available.

The hotel will feature two spa houses and a separate lounge for socializing, drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese culture.

Vladislav Doronin (chairman and chief executive of Aman and Janu) stated, "Being part in the Azabudai hills project sets the benchmark für the brand and all the Janus to follow and, with Janu Tokyo being a fitting flagship, it allows us to connect to the heart and inspire 'new world' hubs of culture and arts.
