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.

Ask the concierge for the room categories with the strongest outlooks before accepting an upgrade.
Book the signature restaurant and a spa treatment at the same time as the stay during high season.
Flexible luxury-advisor rates can include breakfast and a property credit; compare them with prepaid offers.
