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.
Splendido, A Belmond Hotel
The hotel is seasonal — typically spring through autumn. Confirm open dates before anchoring a trip to a specific week.
You are above the village, not in it; the complimentary shuttle to Splendido Mare on the piazzetta is how you reach harbour-level shops and restaurants without a water taxi fight.
Genoa Airport is about one hour; Santa Margherita Ligure is the practical rail head for train arrivals.
La Terrazza sunset tables are the reservation that defines the stay — lock them early.
