Janu hotel in Saudi Arabia’s AlUla set to open in 2023

Aman Resorts has announced a Janu hotel in Saudi Arabia’s AlUla. The brand, which is known for its exclusive five-star properties and estates, has expanded its global appeal and made the brand more accessible through its sister brand Janu.

Janu, which is almost as equally high-end as Aman, is a little less secluded and 30 per cent more affordable. Janu launches with three forthcoming hotels which are already under construction. These include AlUla in Saudi Arabia, set to open in 2023.

Chairman and CEO Vladislav Doronin, says the Aman brand is at the pinnacle of hospitality and is stronger than ever. With 32 hotels in 20 countries, nine under construction and a strong pipeline in place, he said: “The overlap between Aman and its sibling is mutually beneficial; together they offer a total solution for the fluctuating needs and desires of today’s global travel cognoscenti.

“We saw a white space in the market, and we want to push the hotel industry into a new sphere. 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 kickstarting human interaction again.”
