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.
Amankora
- Bhutan requires a Sustainable Development Fee per visitor per night, separate from the hotel rate — factor this into trip planning.
- Most guests book Amankora as a multi-lodge circuit (5–10 nights) with a private guide and driver rather than a single-lodge stay.
- Paro is the only lodge with direct airport access; reaching the others involves scenic mountain drives of 2–6 hours between valleys.
