730 Fifth Avenue at West 57th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019. Warren & Wetmore designed the French Renaissance Revival skyscraper, built in 1920–22. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated it an individual landmark on May 14, 2024.

What to look for from the sidewalk

Start across the avenue at West 57th Street, where the upper stories are easier to see. Look for the places where the building narrows, then follow the tower up to its steep roof. The commission identifies major setbacks at the 13th and 24th stories and notes that the tower steps back differently on each face. The silhouette is an early example of how New York’s 1916 zoning rules, intended to let more light and air reach the street, shaped a skyscraper.

What you can visit

The exterior is visible from the public sidewalk. Aman says its dining venues are for hotel guests and Aman Club Founders, with an exception for The Jazz Club, which lists its own entrance at 9 West 56th Street and publishes a reservation schedule. Check the venue before going. General public access to the upper floors and residences was unconfirmed.
