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.
La Samanna, A Belmond Hotel
About 15 minutes from Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM).
Two pools with Corail as the social hub; three tennis courts; boutique and organic garden.
Watersports centre on site.
Event capacity up to about 200; weddings popular.
