Aman New York

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.
