Aman New York

Manhattan glamour meets Japanese minimalism
VERIFIED LUXURY
Aman properties tend to share a few defining traits: serenely minimalist aesthetics, a focus on well-being and secluded locations. So how would this ethos translate to decidedly urban Midtown Manhattan? As it turns out, quite naturally. 

Aman New York occupies the upper floors of the landmark 25-story Crown Building — a century-old Beaux-Arts beauty and former home of the Museum of Modern Art. Designer Jean-Michel Gathy has created a city sanctuary, weaving natural elements into hushed lobby spaces and 83 residential-style suites, each with a working fireplace and open floor plan. 

The hotel’s three-floor temple of wellness blends Eastern and Western philosophies offering IV and cryotherapy right alongsideTraditional Chinese Medicine and reiki. Dining continues the multicultural thread — start with an omakase dinner at Nama, then descend into the speakeasy-style Jazz Club. Much like New York City itself, this Aman artfully blends cultures for a distinct experience.

Our Inspector's Highlights

  • Aman New York pulls off a stunning feat, seamlessly combining understated Japanese-inspired design with the buzzing energy of Midtown Manhattan. The result is a serene, entirely soundproofed retreat that celebrates its zip code with classic Italian cuisine at Arva, a nostalgic speakeasy and dazzling city views.
  • A hive of celebratory energy, the hotel’s Jazz Club pays homage to Manhattan’s Roaring Twenties era. Each night, musicians from diverse genres take the stage in this intimate venue, where guests can enjoy cocktails inspired by other Aman properties and elevated bites like lobster tartine.
  • Wellness is a core focus, and Aman New York exemplifies this commitment with three floors dedicated to well-being, totaling about 25,000 square feet. The facilities include a hammam, a private Banya spa house, a cryotherapy chamber, a 3,000-square-foot fitness center and a John Barrett hair salon.
  • The Manhattan hotel’s enchanting garden terrace is a year-round delight, thanks to a retractable glass roof. Guests can revel in the inviting atmosphere, overlooking Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, surrounded by lush greenery and water features with floating fire pits.
  • Channeling the look and feel of a ryokan, Nama offers an intimate omakase experience honoring washoku, or traditional Japanese cuisine.Guests seated at the hinoki wood counter get to watch chef Takuma Yonemaru expertly prepare each dish using ingredients sourced daily, though the terrace is also a lovely place to dine.

The Rooms

  • Designed by Gathy, each of the Japanese-inspired suites embodies Manhattan luxury, featuring a working fireplace paired with a distinctive minimalist aesthetic. An abundance of natural materials, latticed partitions, high ceilings and a warm neutral color palette create a soothing, sanctuary-like ambiance in the heart of the city.
  • The 15 Signature Suites are ideal for families, entertaining or extended stays. Within these one- to three-bedroom accommodations, panoramic views immerse guests in the city while spacious living areas, a kitchenette, separate dining areas and calming artwork complete the scene.
  • Clever technology, such as a discreet tablet controlling lighting, shades, the fireplace and entertainment, makes your stay even more convenient. Meanwhile, pivoting partition walls with built-in mood lighting separate the bedroom from the bathroom, ensuring privacy and tranquility.
  • Nodding to the building’s artistic roots, the luxury hotel’s curated collection enhances the peaceful atmosphere. Suites are adorned with a mesmerizing ink-painted reproductions of Hasegawa Tohaku’s 16th-century masterpiece, Pine Trees, while some of the top-level suites showcase original works by the likes of Ulrike Arnold and Eleanor Herbosch.
  • Every stay at Aman includes a long list of perks and indulgences — think daily breakfast, complimentary house cars for nearby drop-offs, butler service and flexible check-in.
