Aman New York Residences

Aman New York Residences occupy the most exclusive structure in this entire collection by unit count: 22 private residences in a 26-story landmarked Beaux-Arts building at Fifth Avenue and 57th Street. The Crown Building — designed by Warren & Wetmore, architects of Grand Central Terminal — was built in 1921 and features the gilded crown that has been part of the Fifth Avenue skyline for over a century. Its conversion to the Aman New York hotel and residences was led by OKO Group's Vladislav Doronin.

Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston International — Aman's design collaborator for over 20 years — faced the challenge of introducing Aman's signature warm minimalism (oak, walnut, cinnamon wood, bronze, natural stone) into a Beaux-Arts landmark shell that speaks a completely different vocabulary. The result is genuinely unusual: Aman's Japanese-inflected serenity inside a Gilded Age Manhattan landmark. Three glass-enclosed fireplaces per residence. Herringbone-patterned foyers with oiled walnut double doors. Minotti Cucine kitchens (Italian, positioned above Poliform and Bulthaup in the specification hierarchy) with Gaggenau appliances and polished quartzite.

The bathroom specification introduces Hansgrohe fixtures (Dornbracht's sister brand, positioned slightly below Dornbracht but of the same German engineering standard) alongside Kenya black cabochon marble accents — a decorative marble detail rarely seen in residential construction. Blackened steel double vanities with dark quartz countertops complete a bathroom that feels simultaneously contemporary and ancient.

The Aman hotel services — three-floor spa, 67-foot pool, jazz club, subterranean wine library, two restaurants — are not merely amenities but a lifestyle infrastructure. Residents who buy here are Aman loyalists who travel the world specifically to stay at Aman properties. They are buying access to the global Aman ecosystem with a New York address.
