Good to Know
Aman New York

- This is Aman's highest-priced US city hotel — book well ahead for any meaningful rate.
The River Lee
- Setting: Western Road beside the River Lee, between University College Cork and the city centre.
- Eligible stays participate in GHA DISCOVERY, including DISCOVERY Dollars and tier recognition.
- Seasonal openings, restaurant schedules and spa access should be confirmed for the intended dates.
