tl;dr – A mapping of several Aman properties – ratings vs nightly rate.
I recently stumbled across a post on Reddit by LuxuryIntel.co that mapped the Aman portfolio on a graph of guest ratings by cheapest nightly rate. The goal was to determine ‘the Gems of the Aman portfolio’ – the properties with the highest average rating and the lowest average nightly cost.
Peep the graphic below:
First off, let’s acknowledge that these are super simple criteria chosen for the X and Y axis, by no means the strongest indicators of a property being a ‘Gem’. If we rock with it, though, there are some interesting takeaways. Unsurprisingly, several of the ‘Gems’ are properties located in India, and the lower nightly costs, due to the economics of the market, appear to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting there.
I was surprised to see both the Aman Venice and Aman Tokyo make their way into the Gems category. Both markets are pretty competitive when it comes to luxury hotels – Venice will see a Four Seasons debut soon with the conversion of the Hotel Danieli, converting over from Marriott’s Luxury Collection – so maybe those two outposts are really ‘worth’ the splurge.
I was disappointed to see the Aman property that I find most intriguing – Aman Rosa Alpina – just wedged into the ‘Overpriced’ section. I was not surprised at all that the Aman New York and Aman Kyoto (If you’re willing to pay Aman prices, you probably want to take a hard look at this place) ended up in that same Overpriced section.
If you’ve sampled any of these properties, what are your thoughts?
