Aman’s second urban destination of its illustrious globe-spanning portfolio, Aman set cosmopolitan hearts aflutter – if not cosmopolitan cocktails raised in toast – when the luxury residences and hotels company announced it would be opening a space in New York City in early 2022. Now within its third month of operations, Aman is delighting New Yorkers and the international music community once more with the opening of its The Jazz Club within Aman New York.
Open to guests and non-residents alike, nothing really does quite symbolize the pulse of Manhattan like jazz. The jazz capital of America. the epicenter of the fabled Jazz Age; this is where the classics played, the flappers danced, and gangsters partied. Drawing inspiration from the illicit thrill of speakeasy culture, The Jazz Club promises to entice 21st century clientele into their own secret entrance, just off Fifth Avenue.
Designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, the club seamlessly merges underground glitz with soulful glamor. And coming in at 3,000-sq-ft, the size is big enough to feel perfectly Gatsby, small enough to still elicit sentiments of exclusivity.
