AI summary — not a quote
Amanpuri is widely regarded by luxury travelers as a flagship property and a gold standard for the Aman brand, set on a secluded beach in Phuket. It is frequently cited for its impeccable service, stunning hard product, and romantic atmosphere. While it offers a peaceful and 'chilled out' vibe, some travelers note that the quiet nature of the resort might not suit those looking for high-energy entertainment or stays longer than a week.
Pros
- Unmatched, exceptional service and attention to detail
- Beautiful secluded beach and high-quality 'hard product' (rooms and facilities)
- Strong reputation as a flagship Aman property that sets a high bar for other luxury resorts
- Excellent weather conditions during peak season (January) and late year (November)
Cons
- Limited activities for longer stays (e.g., 10+ nights)
- The peaceful, quiet atmosphere may be too 'chilled' for those seeking a lively New Year's Eve or party scene

I would choose the Connaught and book afternoon tea at Fortnums because I think it is better than Claridges.
Personally, I would prefer the Connaught for the bars and the location - it is at the end of a street with high end shops and restaurants.
Quiet, discrete location. Even more so than Claridge's it's set back from the main tourist throrough fares. ... Food/bars are excellent, top notch, with again not the same preciousness to have to cater to everyone and no one at the same time
The question is whether The Connaught becomes the group’s anchor for service, heritage and old-school hotel craft
The Connaught or The Emory
