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.
Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi
Setting: a private beach on the western end of Abu Dhabi Corniche, with the city behind it and the Arabian Gulf in front.
