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.

Fairmont Château Laurier

  • Fairmont Gold rooms offer an elevated boutique hotel-within-a-hotel experience with a private lounge and dedicated concierge.
  • Book afternoon tea and signature dinner tables well in advance of arrival.
  • Winter guests should confirm private ski storage or winter festival tour arrangements upon booking.
