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.
Villa San Michele, A Belmond Hotel
Via Doccia 4, Fiesole; about 30 minutes from Florence Airport (FLR), roughly one hour from Pisa (PSA).
Complimentary shuttle to Florence historic centre: confirm current timetable.
Major reopen after ~18-month Luigi Fragola renovation (spring 2026); historically seasonal, now aiming for a longer spring-through-winter chapter.
Book a suite with Florence view if the panorama is the brief: not every key frames the Duomo equally.
