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.

Monasterio, A Belmond Hotel

  • Altitude is about 3,400 m; plan a quiet arrival day and request oxygen-enriched rooms.
  • Roughly 20–25 minutes from Cusco Airport (CUZ); two blocks from Plaza de Armas.
  • Sister Palacio Nazarenas is steps away for all-suite quiet and Mauka by Pía León.
  • El Tupay opera nights are part of the product; ask for quieter rooms if needed.
