The much-anticipated Aman New York has finally opened its door, bringing the brand’s Asian roots to the heart of Manhattan.
As the brand’s newest island destination, Aman New York marks the Crown Building’s transformation into an unmatched city hotel. Since 1921, the Crown Building has presided over the midpoint of Manhattan: the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street.
Formerly the first home of the Museum of Modern Art, the 100-year-old building has undergone a monumental transformation, which has seen it fully restored to its original splendour and imbued with the inimitable spirit of Aman.
Created in partnership with long-time Aman collaborator Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston Architects, the hotel’s 83 suites are amongst the largest and most generously appointed in the city with an array of buzzy social venues.
Headlining these areas is its verdant 14th-floor wraparound Garden Terrace offering year-round dining. A serene respite wherein to switch off from the outside world, the hotel’s 83 suites are among the city’s largest, each offering a functioning fireplace – a rarity in Manhattan – while Japanese-inspired interiors bring balance and harmony.
