What’s interesting about Aman New York

Aman New York is one of a handful of three-Michelin Key hotels in the United States.
“In the ever-bustling heart of Manhattan, where the city's pulse is both relentless and magnetic, Aman New York emerges as a sanctuary of tranquility and sophistication,” Fora Advisor Arlette Diederiks said.
Arlette noted that the hotel occupies the upper floors of The Crown Building, which dates back to 1921. The tower was designed by the same architects behind Grand Central Terminal, and its façade features many of the same Beaux Arts elements. Inside, however, the space exhibits Aman’s signature minimalism and meticulous attention to detail, which extends to the hotel’s excellent service and amenities.
