Swiss-headquartered ultra-luxury hospitality company The Aman Group has unveiled Janu Dubai, the brand’s first residential offering in the Middle East. Set in Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), Janu Dubai follows the opening of Janu Tokyo in 2024.
Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, Janu Dubai will reportedly offer “uninterrupted views” of the Burj Khalifa, surrounded by the lush greenery of Zabeel Palace Gardens.
Janu Dubai is an AED5.5 billion ($1.9 billion) mixed-use development by Dubai-based developer and asset manager H&H, which is also developing the upcoming Aman Dubai Hotel & Residences.
Janu Dubai comprises a 150-key hotel and the debut of the invitation-only Janu Club; alongside Janu Residences, a collection of 57 apartments ranging from two- to five-bedroom configurations.
Anchored by an 18m-high lobby, the hotel spans levels six to 16, while the branded residences “occupies the tower’s most sculpted and panoramic levels”, topped off by a penthouse unit.

Residents enjoy a separate entrance lobby and private lifts. The entire 34th floor is dedicated exclusively to Janu’s “owner community”, with an infinity-edge pool and a residents-only bar and lounge.
Residents also enjoy exclusive access to the Janu Private Office, a dedicated service supporting tailored Janu and Aman journeys, private travel and bespoke events, alongside 24-hour concierge and on-request residential services.
According to H&H’s website, works began in 2023 and Janu Dubai is slated to be completed in 2027.

H&H began pre-sales for the branded residences in early February. Speaking to Bloomberg, H&H chairman Shahab Lutfi said the hotel component was bought by an Asian investment fund, without specifying details. A second tower in the mixed-use development will house an office building already bought by Aldar Properties, Abu Dhabi’s biggest developer.
Lutfi claims H&H has more than AED30 billion in properties under development across Dubai, and the average price of apartments it sells is US$10 million ($12.66 million). The firm recently inked a deal for a 106-key Capella hotel, bringing the Singaporean luxury chain to Dubai for the first time.
Future Janu properties have been confirmed in the United Arab Emirates on Al Marjan Island and Ras Al Khaimah, as well as in Saudi Arabia and the Turks and Caicos Islands — a British Overseas Territory.
The upcoming Aman Singapore will be situated within The Skywaters, a 63-storey mixed-use skyscraper along Shenton Way that will be Singapore’s tallest building when completed in 2028.
Aman hotel suites will occupy the 24th to 26th floors of The Skywaters, with a 44-unit branded residence spanning the 28th to 30th floors. In October 2025, a 1,798 sq ft unit there was sold for $11.7 million, or $6,501 psf, marking a record for 99-year leasehold properties.
Aman, said to be the world’s most exclusive hotel chain, opened its first resort in Phuket in 1988.
