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.
Mandarin Oriental, Desaru Coast
Setting: the Johor coast where rainforest reaches the South China Sea, within road range of Singapore but outside its urban field.
Fans of M.O. benefits require membership and, for selectable stay privileges, an eligible direct booking.
Restaurant, spa and seasonal resort schedules can change; verify them on the official property page for the intended dates.
