Good to Know
Aman New York
- The hotel features 83 suites situated in the historic 1921 Crown Building on 57th and Fifth Avenue, designed by Jean-Michel Gathy.
- Includes a 25,000-sq-ft 3-story Aman Spa with 65-ft pool, two private Spa Houses (Banya & Hammam), and The Jazz Club.
- Located in Midtown Manhattan, a 45-minute drive from JFK Airport and steps from Central Park and MoMA.
Necker Island
- Official pages describe Necker as 74 acres, while one exclusive-use passage says thirty acres. The owner does not reconcile the figures.
- Core capacity is 48. Expanded sources variously say 56 guests plus 14 children, 56 adults plus 14 children, or 48 adults plus six children.
- Only one bunkroom has a card and sleeps six children. The second bunkroom, beach villa, four additional adult rooms and remaining expanded child beds are not publicly described.
- The live 2026 Individual Stay calendar conflicts with the still-live official 2026 PDF. Confirm valid arrival and departure dates rather than merging them.
