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.
The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch
- Ask for a confirmed view category rather than relying on the generic room name.
- Club Level can be worth the premium for guests who value breakfast, light dining, and a quieter concierge point.
- Book key restaurant and spa appointments before arrival in peak travel periods.
