In the ever-evolving skyline of Dubai International Financial Centre, where global commerce converges with culture and contemporary art, a new chapter in branded living unfolds. Janu Residences, Dubai marks the Middle East debut of Janu, the soulful sister brand of Aman Group—introducing a vibrant, socially driven expression of luxury to the region’s most dynamic district.
Derived from the Sanskrit word for “soul,” Janu reimagines hospitality through connection, creativity and energy. Following the acclaimed launch of Janu Tokyo in 2024, Dubai becomes the brand’s first residential address in the Middle East—an architectural and lifestyle statement that signals a bold new rhythm of urban living.
Architecture as Identity
Designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, the tower introduces a sculptural, mineral-inspired form to Dubai’s polished skyline. It is the firm’s first project of its kind in the Middle East—an expressive structure that balances monumental presence with a distinctly human scale.
Rising from a reenvisioned souk courtyard and anchored by an 18-metre-high lobby, the development comprises:
- A 150-key Janu hotel (levels 6–16)
- The world’s first global Janu Club, an invitation-only social members’ space
- A limited collection of 57 branded residences, spanning two to five bedrooms
- An exceptional penthouse crowning the tower
Expansive terraces, generous balconies and abundant greenery soften the verticality of the building—an uncommon gesture in high-rise UAE living—while overlooking Zabeel Palace Gardens, the Burj Khalifa and the ever-evolving DIFC skyline.
Elevated, Private, Connected
Discretion defines the arrival experience. A separate entrance lobby and private lifts convey residents directly to their homes, ensuring privacy within one of Dubai’s most high-profile districts.
The entire 34th floor is dedicated exclusively to owners—a private sanctuary above the city featuring:
- A panoramic infinity-edge pool
- Residents-only Lounge & Bar
- Sweeping skyline views
Yet Janu’s philosophy is not isolation—it is curated connection. Residents enjoy seamless access to hotel amenities, including destination restaurants, a mixology bar, outdoor terraces, and a state-of-the-art wellness centre designed around movement, vitality and shared experience. At the heart of the offering is the Janu Private Office, delivering bespoke travel, curated Aman and Janu journeys, private events and 24-hour concierge services—extending ownership far beyond the residence itself.
A Developer with Vision
Janu Dubai is developed by H&H Development, renowned for introducing world-class hospitality brands to the Emirates. Occupying an entire tower within DIFC, the project reflects H&H’s commitment to curated, design-led developments that leave a discreet yet undeniable mark on the city.
The Janu Way of Life
More than a residence, Janu Dubai represents access—to community, to culture, to a global lifestyle ecosystem. Future Janu destinations have already been confirmed for Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Turks and Caicos, reinforcing the brand’s expanding international footprint.
In a city defined by ambition and reinvention, Janu Residences, Dubai offers something rarer: a soulful counterpoint to scale. A place where architecture fosters connection, wellness becomes ritual, and luxury is measured not only in finishes—but in feeling.
For the global citizen seeking both privacy and participation, this is a new cadence of contemporary living—alive to Dubai’s rhythm, yet distinctly its own.
