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 Peninsula Shanghai
- Ask for the strongest view or terrace within the booked category; this matters more than decorative differences.
- Peninsula benefits are usually strongest on flexible advisor or premium-card rates.
- Book tea, destination dining, and airport transfers before arrival in high season.
