Ben Schlappig, a travel blogger, recently stayed at the new 83-suite Aman New York hotel, which opened in 2022 in the iconic Crown Building. While the hotel's interiors are stunning, with massive suites and impressive wellness facilities, the high price tag of $2,400-$3,200 per night means this property is primarily for those with deep pockets. Schlappig found the service to be friendly but not quite at the legendary Aman level of anticipatory service, which may be difficult to achieve in a busy city like New York.

Why it matters

Aman New York is being touted as perhaps the most expensive and hyped city hotel in the United States, so Schlappig's review provides valuable insight into whether the hotel lives up to the hype and justifies its premium pricing. As a luxury brand known for its high-end resorts, Aman's foray into the competitive New York City hotel market is an interesting case study on whether the brand can translate its signature service and experience to an urban setting.

The details

Schlappig's room at Aman New York was an entry-level suite of 718 square feet, with a massive bathroom, ample closet space, and high-end finishes. The hotel also features a 25,000-square-foot wellness area with a 65-foot indoor pool, expansive gym, and full-service spa. Dining options include the Lounge Bar, all-day Arva restaurant, and Nama sushi restaurant, all of which are exclusive to hotel guests, residents, and Aman Club members. While Schlappig found the food to be excellent, he noted that the service, while friendly, did not quite meet the anticipatory level typically associated with the Aman brand, citing a delay in delivering ice to his room.

The takeaway

Aman New York offers a stunning, luxurious hotel experience, but its sky-high prices of $2,400-$3,200 per night mean it is primarily for those with deep pockets. While the hotel's design, amenities, and dining are impressive, the service, while friendly, did not quite live up to the anticipatory level typically associated with the Aman brand, which may be a challenge to achieve in a bustling city like New York.
