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.
Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel
Casole d'Elsa countryside; about one hour from Florence Airport, roughly 40 minutes from Siena.
Estate scale is roughly 3,200 acres with vineyard, olive groves, and nature reserve.
Event venues for roughly 20-150 people, including amphitheatre, wine cellar, and chapel: strong wedding product.
Country activities include truffle hunting, biking, stargazing, and cooking classes.
