Located within the iconic Crown Building, a Manhattan landmark just steps from Central Park, lies Aman New York – an urban sanctuary designed to whisk you away from the city’s hustle and bustle.

 

Visionary designer Jean-Michel Gathy has crafted an experience that honors the building’s gilded past while offering contemporary luxury. Imagine 83 dreamy suites – each a haven of peace featuring massive marble rain showers, deep soaking tubs, and the warmth of a crackling fireplace (a rarity in New York City).

Indulge in culinary adventures at Arva, which celebrates the rustic soul of Italy, or Nama, a haven for Japanese culinary traditions.  Both restaurants are exclusive to hotel guests and esteemed Aman Club Founders.

 

But Aman New York offers more than just a luxurious stay.  The three-story spa is a haven of rejuvenation, boasting restorative treatments, cutting-edge biomarker lab diagnostics, and personalized wellness programs.  This is a place to truly unwind and reconnect with yourself.

Luxury and tranquility

The Crown Building itself boasts a rich history.  Designed by Warren & Wetmore, the architectural minds behind Grand Central Station and the Helmsley Building, it was meticulously crafted with a copper-clad tower, Neo-Classical façade, and French Renaissance details.  Originally the first home of the Museum of Modern Art, it has become a symbol of prestige and prime Manhattan real estate.

The arrival experience reflects this history.  A discreet entrance leads to a ground-floor lobby, that is intentionally dark and intimate, creating a sense of escape from the city’s chaos.  Take the elevator to the 14th floor and be greeted by a double-height atrium, a majestic space infused with subtle Asian influences that nod to Aman’s heritage.

Distinctive design

Step into one of the 83 magnificent suites, some of the largest hotel rooms in New York.  Each one is an invitation to disconnect, featuring oversized windows with dynamic cityscapes, a soothing palette of natural materials, and – a New York City first – a functioning fireplace.  Spacious bathrooms complete the picture with marble rain showers, soaking tubs, and double vanities.

 

More than just a hotel, Aman New York;  is a self-contained world that reflects the Aman brand’s core values of tranquility, exclusivity, and a unique sense of place.
