Since opening in 2022, Aman New York has become the hotel of choice for celebrities visiting Manhattan. In the past two years, the hotel has hosted high-profile guests including Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kendall Jenner, Tom Cruise, and Mark Zuckerberg. Its reputation for privacy and exclusivity has made it a reliable retreat for public figures seeking a low-profile stay in the city.

Aman New York is located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, occupying the upper floors of the historic Crown Building. The hotel offers 83 suites, each featuring a working fireplace, large bathrooms, and soundproofed walls. The design, by Jean-Michel Gathy, draws on Japanese minimalism with shoji screens and muted tones. The public spaces include a garden terrace with firepits, an Italian restaurant (Arva), a Japanese restaurant (Nama), and a basement jazz club. The three-floor spa includes a 65-foot indoor pool, private treatment rooms, and a fitness center.

The hotel’s interiors are quiet and understated. The atmosphere is calm, with an emphasis on privacy. Guests can move through the building without attracting attention, and the staff is trained to be discreet.

Ultra-private

Aman New York’s appeal to celebrities is rooted in its strict privacy policies and high level of service. The hotel does not allow photography in public areas. Staff are instructed not to share guest information. Suites are designed for seclusion, with private entrances and layouts that can accommodate security or personal assistants. The Aman Club, a private members’ club within the hotel, has a high initiation fee and annual dues, further limiting access to outsiders.

The hotel’s location, near Central Park and major shopping destinations, is convenient for guests who want to explore the city without traveling far. However, many guests choose to remain inside the hotel, making use of in-room dining, private spa treatments, and the members-only club.

Aman New York does not publicize its guest list, but sightings and reports confirm that it is now one of the most popular hotels among celebrities visiting New York. Its combination of location, privacy, and service has set it apart from other luxury hotels in the city. For many high-profile visitors, Aman New York offers a rare sense of security and calm in the middle of Manhattan.
