In 1988, Aman was born with a unique vision – to craft intimate retreats that radiate the understated warmth and charm of a gracious private home. This vision took shape with the creation of Amanpuri, a 'place of peace,' nestled in the idyllic embrace of Phuket, Thailand. Since those humble beginnings, Aman has blossomed into a global sensation, boasting a portfolio of 34 meticulously curated hotels and resorts spanning 20 enchanting destinations worldwide. Among these, 12 offer the coveted experience of Aman Branded Residences. Yet, this is no tale of resting on laurels; Aman's dynamism shines with ten exciting projects currently in progress, with some already taking form.

Beyond its serene retreats, Aman now offers a range of lifestyle experiences, including skincare, supplements, fragrances, and ready-to-wear collections. In 2020, Aman introduced Janu, a new hotel brand centered around genuine human interaction and social wellness. Seven Janu hotels, including Tokyo (2023) and AlUla in Saudi Arabia, are in the pipeline. Additionally, Aman New York, located in Manhattan's midtown, has unveiled two exclusive Homes from its collection of 22 Aman Residences, redefining urban luxury living.

Located on the upper floors of the historic Crown Building, Aman New York Homes redefines luxury living in the bustling metropolis. These meticulously designed Residences offer an unbeatable blend of privacy and comfort, ideal for both short and extended stays. The one-bedroom home covers 110 square meters (1,150 square feet) and boasts stunning cityscape views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Meanwhile, the three-bedroom home, spanning 345 square meters (3,710 square feet), offers breathtaking vistas of Central Park. Accessible via dedicated elevators from Aman New York's 14th-floor reception, these homes ensure the utmost privacy. They feature spacious open-plan living and dining areas, fully equipped kitchens, and laundry facilities. All bedrooms come with ensuite bathrooms. Guests enjoy complimentary use of the hotel's car for local travel and the exceptional service of a personal butler, guaranteeing a seamless and unforgettable experience.

Designed by renowned architect Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston Architects, the Homes at Aman New York pay homage to Aman's Asian roots, using organic materials like oak, walnut, and aromatic cinnamon wood. The hotel's soothing contemporary style seamlessly blends with the Homes, featuring cozy fireplaces and finishes in bold tones of bronze, brass, stainless steel, and blackened steel. Guests not only enjoy the spacious luxury of Aman New York Homes but also have access to the hotel's outstanding amenities, including the expansive 2,300-square-meter (25,000-square-foot) Aman Spa, along with two signature restaurants, Arva and Nama. These dining options are complemented by the Lounge Bar, a subterranean Jazz Club, and a range of outdoor dining terraces.
