Aman Perks: What a Virtuoso Booking Adds at Each Aman Hotel

Geisel Power · October 2026 · 4 min read

The way to extra perks at Aman is to book through an advisor in Virtuoso or in Aman's own program for advisors; Geisel Power is in both. Every Aman hotel we list publishes its Virtuoso package, and most share one shape: an upgrade on arrival, subject to availability; a $100 credit; and early check-in or late check-out, subject to availability. Breakfast for two is on each list too, though every listing notes it is already part of the rate. The differences, hotel by hotel, are below.

How Aman works with advisors

Aman hotels are Virtuoso partners: each one lists its own Virtuoso amenities, which come with a booking made by a Virtuoso advisor. Aman also has its own program for advisors, and Geisel is part of it. It works the same way as Four Seasons Preferred Partner.

Aman counts 36 hotels and resorts in 21 countries. Our catalogue lists 29 of them, plus Janu Tokyo from Janu, which is part of Aman Group, and all 30 carry Virtuoso amenities. Aman's website also lists a Travel Advisory Board of 13 luxury travel advisors.

Unlike Four Seasons, where most hotels keep their Virtuoso amenities for the quote, every Aman hotel we list shows its package before you book. How Four Seasons compares.

What a Virtuoso booking at Aman includes

The usual package has four lines. Across the 30 Aman Group hotels we list:

AmenityListed by
Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability28 of 30. Amankora and Aman-i-Khas list no upgrade.
Daily breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom30 of 30, each noting it is already included in the rate.
A $100 credit, in US dollars or the equivalent, to use during the stay30 of 30: for food and beverage at 16, a resort or hotel credit at 13, food and beverage or spa at Aman Nai Lert Bangkok.
Early check-in or late check-out, subject to availability30 of 30.

Every credit carries the same three conditions: not combinable, not valid on the room rate, and no cash value if not used in full.

Amanpuri, as listed for 2026.

“Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability; Daily breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom, served in the restaurant (already included in property rates); $100 USD equivalent Food & Beverage credit to be utilized during stay (not combinable, not valid on room rate, no cash value if not redeemed in full); Early Check-In / Late Check-Out, subject to availability.”

From Amanpuri's Virtuoso listing and our Amanpuri page. Perks can change from year to year; Geisel's written quote confirms them for your dates.

Breakfast is already in the rate

At Aman, breakfast is not the perk it is elsewhere. Every Aman listing we carry notes that breakfast for two is “already included in property rates”. So weigh the other three lines: the credit, the upgrade when one is available, and the flexible arrival and departure.

How the package varies by property

The shape is shared. The details are not:

Four listings, at Amankora, Aman-i-Khas, Amansara and Amanbagh, still carry a 2025 label. One more reason the written quote, not the listing, is what to rely on.

How to book Aman through Geisel

Send the hotel, your dates and the number of guests. Within 24 hours Geisel replies with a written quote: the room, the rate, taxes and fees, the total, the hotel's cancellation policy for that rate, and the amenities. Nothing is booked until you say yes. There is no fee on hotel bookings: you pay the hotel directly, at its own rate, and the hotel pays the advisor a commission. Booking one of Aman's own offers? Ask when you book whether the amenities apply on top of it.

Questions

How do I get extra perks at Aman?

Book through an advisor in Virtuoso or in Aman's own program for advisors; Geisel is in both. At the Aman hotels we list, the Virtuoso package is typically an upgrade on arrival, subject to availability; a $100 credit; early check-in or late check-out, subject to availability; and breakfast for two, which the listings note is already in the rate.

Are upgrades at Aman guaranteed with a Virtuoso booking?

No. Upgrades depend on availability on arrival, and two Aman hotels, Amankora and Aman-i-Khas, list no upgrade at all.

Does booking Aman through Geisel cost more?

There is no fee on hotel bookings. You pay the hotel directly, at its own rate, and the hotel pays the advisor a commission.

Do the perks apply on top of Aman's own offers?

Ask when you book. The written quote states the amenities that come with your rate.

Does Janu Tokyo carry the same perks?

Janu Tokyo, from Aman Group's Janu brand, lists the same four lines for 2026. Its $100 food and beverage credit excludes retail.
