Inside the Aman Club, NYC’s most expensive private members’ club: it costs US$200,000 just to join, but you may find yourself rubbing shoulders with George Clooney, Bill Gates or the Kardashians
- The club is located at the luxury hotel’s Fifth Avenue property inside the ornamental, century-old Crown Building – and, in addition to the joining fee, costs US$15,000 per year to be a member
- The 3 storey, 25,000 sq ft wellness area includes an indoor pool, two distinct spa houses, a cryotherapy chamber and treatments such as IV drips and electrolyte therapy
In an era where working from home is the overwhelming first choice in the US but where people still crave community, it’s no wonder many are reporting a rising interest in private members’ clubs.
These clubs are not a new phenomenon in the US. In New York alone, the first opened their doors in the Gilded Age. Unsurprisingly, members were often men with deep pockets.
Fast-forward to 2024, and most private members’ clubs in the city are gender-inclusive. But it still doesn’t hurt to have money.
Soho House and Zero Bond are among the most popular clubs in New York. Members are charged upwards of US$5,000 and US$3,000, respectively.
But that’s nothing compared to what members pay to join the Aman Club – a private members’ club opened by the ultra-luxury hospitality resort chain of the same name in 2022.
Here’s a sneak peek inside.

The Aman in NYC is in The Crown Building on Fifth Avenue and 57th Street. The hotel is located inside a building that has long been a fixture in midtown Manhattan.
