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.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora
- The resort is closed for a phased renovation through the property's stated 2026 timeline, reopening with a smaller, higher-spec villa count — check status before booking.
- Nearest airport is Bora Bora (BOB); the resort transfer is by private boat across the lagoon.
- Whale-watching season (August–November) is a genuine reason to time a trip around, not just a marketing line.
