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 New York, Central Park
- Ask specifically for a Central Park King or higher when booking — not all "park view" categories face the park directly.
- The hotel keeps a bank of loaner Burberry trench coats and cashmere throws for guests headed into the park in bad weather.
- Steps from Columbus Circle and the southwest corner of Central Park; the subway hub there covers most of Manhattan directly.
