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.
Hôtel Plaza Athénée
- The hotel participates in Dorchester Collection, which has no public portfolio-wide consumer points currency.
- Diamond Club is a travel-advisor programme, not a consumer loyalty tier. Benefits require an eligible advisor booking.
- Restaurant schedules, spa access, and seasonal outdoor facilities should be confirmed for the intended dates.
