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.
Raffles The Palm Dubai
- Setting: the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah, using a palace-scale beachfront setting separated from mainland Dubai.
- Eligible stays can earn ALL Accor Reward and Status points when the membership number is attached.
- Restaurant, spa and seasonal resort schedules can change; verify them on the official property page for the intended dates.
