Since 1921, the Crown Building has presided over the midpoint of Manhattan, to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street. The 100-year-old building has undergone a monumental transformation, which has seen it fully restored to its original splendour and imbued with the inimitable spirit of Aman. Each suite features a large-scale mural inspired by the 15th century masterpiece Pine Trees (Shōrin-zu byōbu) by Hasegawa Tōhaku. The mural is printed on delicate rice paper and spanning the walls as a captivating focal point. The hotel on Aman Club and Aman Branded Residences brings an entirely new proposition to Manhattan.
