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 Sukhothai Shanghai
- Setting: the Jing'an district beside HKRI Taikoo Hui, within walking distance of West Nanjing Road.
- Eligible stays participate in GHA DISCOVERY, including DISCOVERY Dollars and tier recognition.
- The hotel is part of a large mixed-use complex, but its courts and subdued interiors create meaningful separation from the retail surroundings.
