Good to Know
Aman New York
- The hotel's jazz club, in the building's restored 1920s vault, is open to outside guests and worth a visit even if you're not staying.
- Directly on Fifth Avenue at 57th Street — steps from Central Park, but genuinely quiet once you're inside given the building's thick 1921 construction.
- This is Aman's highest-priced US city hotel — book well ahead for any meaningful rate.
Amangalla
- Galle Fort is walkable in full in under an hour — the hotel is a genuinely good base for exploring the UNESCO-listed old town on foot.
- Considerably lower rates than most other properties in this guide, while still meeting our ultra-luxury service and design bar.
- About 2 hours by car from Colombo's main international airport.
