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.
Reid's Palace, A Belmond Hotel
William is Tuesday–Saturday dinner only — plan your week around it, not the other way around.
Afternoon tea is not optional marketing; book a seating the day you arrive.
Smallest double rooms are genuinely small by modern luxury standards — upgrade to Junior Suite for stays over three nights.
Madeira Airport (FNC) is about 20 minutes; central Funchal about 10.
