Aman Group to open Janu Dubai in 2027

Downtown Dubai hotel to be first of many in Middle East

Luxury hotel group Aman is poised to bring its sociable Janu Hotel concept to Dubai in 2027.

The 150-room hotel is set to open in the Dubai Financial District the same year that Aman Dubai will welcome guests to its Jumeirah beachfront property.

Janu, comes from the Sanskrit word for ‘soul’, and the brand is positioned as a pioneer of a ‘new era of restorative travel’.

Janu Dubai will offer sweeping views across the skyline towards the Burj Khalifa on one side and garden views on the other. It will be similar to Janu’s inaugural property in Tokyo, which opened in March 2024.

Aman Group chairman and CEO Vlad Doronin said: “Following the successful opening of Janu Tokyo, the announcement of Janu Dubai marks my continued commitment to solidifying Janu's robust pipeline and advancing our strategic vision for the future of luxury hospitality. I am pleased to collaborate with Shahab Lutfi and his team at H&H Development, whose deep market insight will enable us to deliver another exceptional Janu destination for the new generation of travellers.”

Pritzker Prize-winning Herzog & de Meuron has been engaged as the building’s architect team and according to Aman Group the design brief is to embrace a connection to nature through expansive outdoor terraces and balconies with abundant planting and gardens.

Wellness is at the centre of the Janu brand, and Janu Dubai will have a spa that caters to the ‘soulful’ traveller.

“We are delighted to collaborate with Aman Group to bring Janu Dubai to the heart of DIFC,” said Shahab Lutfi, Founder of H&H Development. “This exceptional property is set to provide residents and visitors alike with an outstanding level of service and amenities, offering transformative experiences and adding a standout development characterised by progressive and timeless design to the branded residence and hospitality sector.”

Both Janu Dubai and Aman Dubai are currently in the pre-development phase. The announcement of Janu Dubai emphasises Aman Group’s commitment to the Middle East, with forthcoming properties confirmed in destinations including AlUla, Wadi Safar and Diriyah Gate.
