For any bona fide Aman junkie, it’s the kind of opportunity that’s too good to pass up: an invitation-only Aman Club located at Aman New York, in the Crown Building, at the corner of Fifth and 57th—the hotel franchise’s first urban property in North America.

That was certainly the thought process of one devotee of Aman resorts. This person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, wired the $100,000 initiation fee after one phone conversation, and without even seeing the actual club. That’s the kind of confidence Aman, one of the most elite hospitality companies on the planet, inspires in its guests.
