From the moment its discreet porte-cochère opens onto Fifth Avenue, Aman New York feels less like a hotel and more like a private residence for the world’s most discerning travelers. Housed in the historic Crown Building at 57th Street, the property reimagines Manhattan glamour through the serene prism of Aman’s Asian heritage. The 83 suites—among the city’s largest—pair soaring ceilings and lattice-work oak with a rarity in New York: real, wood-burning fireplaces in every room. Jean-Michel Gathy’s design priority was silence, and the result is an acoustic sanctuary where city noise fades behind sound-insulated walls and pivoting shoji doors.

Wellness is the hotel’s lodestar. A three-storey, 25,000-sq-ft Aman Spa offers a 20-metre heated pool bordered by daybeds and atmospheric fire pits, hydrotherapy facilities, a vast fitness centre, and fully private Spa Houses equipped with Banya and Hammam suites. Treatments range from IV infusions and cryotherapy to traditional Chinese medicine, making the spa a favourite of high-profile guests landing from long-haul flights or private-jet hops.

Culinary experiences weave global pedigree with intimate scale. Arva serves ingredient-driven Italian on the garden terrace suspended above Fifth Avenue, while Nama stages a 12-seat omakase that rivals Tokyo’s finest counters. After dark, the subterranean Jazz Club—a wink to the Crown Building’s Roaring-Twenties roots—hosts genre-spanning sets alongside cocktails inspired by other Aman resorts.

Guests who crave even tighter exclusivity join the Aman Club, currently capped at 600 members with a reported US $200 k initiation fee and US $15 k annual dues, unlocking a vinous library, cigar terrace, and “private office” concierge desk that handles everything from visa renewals to last-minute Hermès appointments. For non-members, the front-of-house team delivers equally exacting service: private in-suite check-in, a house car for local drop-offs, and butlers versed in everything from bespoke fragrance procurement to sourcing a Steinway for impromptu soirées.
