The property was absolutely gorgeous and extremely well positioned, but I personally felt it to be a bit underwhelming for the price point. It didn't really felt like an Aman to me, and like what you rightfully mentioned, a lot of "Aman touches" was lacking, such as expecting to come back to a made-up room every time, attentiveness to details, service standards, etc. I guess that's the trade-offs of having an Aman in a big city!
@@Tremendoussuccess yah but unlike tokyo where amen is pretty much as expensive/quality as it gets. In new york they are surrounded by compitition and they are far from the most expensive hotel.
We loved watching this episode and your excellent videography. The music used is very fitting for the exploration of this amazing property. Keep up the great work!
Apparently, rooms facing 56th St are located in a newly built addition connected to the hotel, hence the larger floor to ceiling windows. The rooms facing 5th Ave and 5tth St have smaller windows as they are in the original Crown building.
Thank for tuning in! As for tipping, I keep a stash of $10/20 bills in my pocket which will come in handy whenever I receive the service from the butler, bellman, housekeeping, pool staff etc. However at spa & dining outlets I write down the tipping percentage from my total bill.
On a per sq ft basis, I would say the Ritz Paris is even more expensive. For EUR 2,500 all you get is their most basic room which is around 300-400 sq ft.
You can sometimes get a good price through booking agencies. I paid just under 1200 Euros a night recently. The food is very expensive though. The Valentine's night dinner is 700 Euros per person.
@theazraaiazuha I've just been looking at prices and as of 5 minutes ago you book a room for just under 1700 Euros. About Easter the price is nearer 2000 Euros. At high season it's about 3,000 Euros a night.
Before I watched this video, I read an article about an interview with Aman Group's chairman and CEO, Vlad Doronin. The interviewer asked a very candid question: "How has Aman New York gone, given that there were some doubters when it opened in August 2022 about how your team would translate the typical hideaway experience of an Aman resort into a major city?" Doronin replied, " [Aman] enables guests to be fully immersed in the pace and buzz of the city, yet the moment they step into our doors, they experience utmost sanctuary and peace." The CEO did not elaborate further, but his answer to the interviewer's question prompted me to wonder: How could Aman enable guests to "experience utmost sanctuary and peace" at Fifth Avenue, one of the busiest streets in New York City? With that question in mind, I watched this video. While other viewers might have been mesmerized by the luxurious and breathtakingly appealing interior, I was not so, because my eyes were busy "scrutinizing" the hotel's interior, searching for those often-ignored but critically important details that had enabled Aman's CEO to say that once guests stepped into Aman New York, they would "experience sanctuary and peace". Follow are my observations and analysis. *First, extensive and thoughtful acoustic treatments throughout the interior of Aman New York* . Because I read about it before, I was able to recognize multiple sound-absorbing materials in the hotel's interior design: woods, carpet, furniture with thick cushions. I also noticed the extensive used of glass in the hotel's interior. I cannot tell what kind of glass that is by just watching the video, but if those glass panels were made of fiberglass and/or acoustic glass, those glass panels would also absorb sound instead of reflecting it back to the hotel's interior. To further enhance the sound-absorbing effect, rubber underlayment could also be placed under flooring materials, which they likely did. *Second, ambient lighting that produces dim, soft light* . As shown in the video, the hotel shunned general or task lighting that produces bright, white light. It also blocks natural light. The hotel' lobby and hallways use only one kind of lighting: ambient light. The dim, soft light produced by ambient lighting enhances the hotel interior's aesthetic, creates an inviting atmosphere, defines space, improves guests' mood, and shapes their emotions. *Third, I also noticed that, from staff members to guests, no one raised their voice. Everyone conversed in volume only loud enough to be heard* . The architects who designed Aman New York went to great distance to incorporate the Aman ethos in the design of the hotel. It was because all this hard work and the sometimes dry, dull technical details associated with it that enabled Aman's CEO to make that confident, and unequivocal statement: "[Aman] enables guests to be fully immersed in the pace and buzz of the city, yet the moment they step into our doors, they experience utmost sanctuary and peace." Aman New York, an ultra-luxury hotel that offers guests an immersive, one-of-a- kind experience. Is it worth the money? I will rescue myself from opining on this question, because my wallet will unlikely ever allow me to splurge at any ultra-luxury Aman hotel. Thanks for sharing!

Lol Tokio is much bigger than NY buddy

I felt the same
@@Tremendoussuccessfunny fact Tokyo is biggest in population but not in size, the full metropolitan area of NYC is the largest in the world.

Thanks for the continuous support, really appreciate it!
I have been dying to take a look inside this new hotel! Thanks for the video.

LMAO I binge content like this. keep it up brodie 🙌
Thank you for showing us, excellent review as always.
Are you gonna make video on St Regis New York? Also would love to see you reviewing Aman Venice. The building is beautiful!
Great video! And music as well
❤ I really enjoyed every second of your tour. Greetings from Malaysia 😊
Amazing video and review! Please continue doing these
Oh, I hope you did a video at the St Regis as well!
Wonderful stay. Thanks for showing us! Please post more videos of your trips and hotel stays!
Very nice video, thank you for sharing, God bless you
Love the color scheme. Earth tones. Very nice but very very expensive. I usually like to stay in lower Manhattan. Around Soho. Love that area.
3:41 a lot from the Philippines.. I know.. it was amazing. servicio espectacular. altamente recomendado.
So cool! Thanks! 🧡❤💛
Thank you for sharing this good looking hotel.😊
Thank your for your thorough review videos!
Honest question: how do you handle tipping when staying in a super-luxury property like this?
Thank for tuning in!
As for tipping, I keep a stash of $10/20 bills in my pocket which will come in handy whenever I receive the service from the butler, bellman, housekeeping, pool staff etc. However at spa & dining outlets I write down the tipping percentage from my total bill.
Where is your grey overcoat from? Its great

Thanks for the input! I remember paying around €1300/night there in spring 2022. The price must've gone up leading up to the Olympics.

Great video
I used to work here great place.
Visit Aman Dominican Republic, it’s amazing!
Got a glimpse of your coat at 4:33, it’s… 😮
I think for more than half the price ritz carlton nomad is a better option. the four seasons central park is being renovated as well.
The ritz Paris charge more than that.
The lowest you can have is 2200€ which is 2500$, and this is the lowest you can have

Go to the Aman in Thailand
New York JFK❤ Airport!!!
Rosewood Hotel is another one…
Nice but overpriced for what you get .I don’t see much difference between that and Park Hyatt quality for example, except in the price .
😁👍
Noice...
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Baccarat Hotel is better value for money
Ino sleep business important life important
Shouldn’t say last name they should say surname please Sir
it is purely based on preference but Aman style is not for me; bland colours and styling
One of the worst things you can do in NYC is a Heli tour. Dislike, block
Hahahhahahaha
