How to Book Aman New York: Fifth Avenue's Most Private Address

Aman New York brought the collection's philosophy of space and silence to the busiest corner of Manhattan, the landmark Crown Building at Fifth Avenue and 57th Street. It is the most ambitious urban Aman in the world, a vertical sanctuary of suites, gardens and a vast spa set above the retail theatre of midtown, and one of the hardest rooms in the city to secure at the holidays. Booking through a preferred-partner advisory costs the same as booking direct, with recognition and benefits added at no extra cost.

The Crown Building has stood at the top of Fifth Avenue since 1921, and Aman's transformation of its upper floors is one of the most significant hotel openings New York has seen in a generation. Inside, the noise of midtown gives way to the familiar Aman calm: low light, natural stone, water, and a restraint that feels startling for the address. Central Park is a short walk north, the galleries and auction houses are at the door, and the city is laid out below.

Every accommodation is a suite, among the largest in the city, each with a working fireplace, Japanese-inflected interiors and a deep soaking tub. Categories run from the entry suites through the Junior and two-bedroom suites to the Aman Home, a residence-scale apartment with sweeping views. The feeling throughout is of a private home rather than a hotel, a rare thing at this altitude above Fifth Avenue.

On the fourteenth floor, Arva serves Aman's signature Italian menu and Nama offers refined Japanese cuisine, both opening onto the Garden Terrace that wraps the building with planting and skyline views. Below, the Jazz Club channels the city's great musical tradition in an intimate basement room. We can arrange a table or a table and a Jazz Club evening as part of your stay.

The centrepiece is a 25,000-square-foot Aman Spa across three floors, among the largest in New York, with a double-height pool flanked by daybeds and fire, private spa houses, and the full range of Aman wellness programming. In a city built on momentum, it is a remarkable place to stop. For other city Amans, see Aman Tokyo, and for the collection as a whole, our hub on how to book Aman.

Aman New York is the quietest room on Fifth Avenue, a sanctuary suspended above the most frenetic blocks in America.
