This Posh NoMad Hotel Showcases The Best of NYC Luxury

New York City Epic Stays
by Hannah D. Cooper Dec 28, 2023

Ask a New York City regular where to stay in Manhattan and they’ll tell you NoMad is the coolest downtown neighborhood. The clue is in the name: NoMad, or Madison Square North, bounces right off the north end of Madison Square Park. A recent revival has brought a surge in luxury hotels, inventive bistros, and voguish bars to this historic 30-block nook. NoMad hotels are close (but not too close) to Times Square while Chelsea and the Flatiron District are on the doorstep. The “North of Madison Square Park” neighborhood is ripe with luxury hotels for sightseeing and nightlife in NYC, and the INNSiDE by Meliá New York NoMad leads the pack.

We hope you love these NoMad hotels! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.

Meliá Hotels knew to make its Big Apple debut in this on-trend NYC neighborhood. INNSiDE New York NoMad combines location, luxury, and lifestyle amenities including a round-the-clock fitness suite and a seasonal garden bar.

Entry-level rooms give the choice of a queen or king-size bed bathed in natural light courtesy of floor-to-ceiling windows granting a glimpse at skyscrapers. The City View portfolio bumps this up to a full-blown Manhattan skyline from bed but pushing the boat out for the Townhouse Suite throws a private terrace into the mix. Let’s just say, there’s little need to summit the Top of the Rock.

Although INNSiDE by Meliá New York NoMad is a favorite for couples, the hotel is equally popular among families and business travelers. The Family Loft more than doubles the floorplan and adds a second bathroom. All units feature Nespresso coffee machines, organic bathing products, and complimentary Wi-Fi as standard.

The Meliá’s purple bulldog mascot is a telltale sign that four-legged guests get just as grand a welcome as whoever’s footing the bill. Pet-friendly rooms at INNSiDE New York NoMad are readied with an orthopedic memory foam bed, snuggly blankets, and an arrival gift. There’s even a dedicated dog menu at the signature restaurant.

Open from breakfast through to supper, The Wilson will tempt you to dine in. This candlelit bistro specializes in northeastern coastal cuisine with a global twist. Think, Maine lobster rolls served alongside oyster bao buns and happy hour mini tuna tacos. At the very least, power up over a smoked salmon bagel before hopping on one of the property’s rental bikes.

The sister of The Ned, London, now occupies the Beaux Arts Johnson Building that once housed the famous NoMad Hotel on Broadway. This five-star property is divided into a member’s club and a hotel where romantic rooms evoke the glamor of the 1920s. A mahogany writing desk and a Watermark walk-in shower are the hallmarks and superior suites have free-standing clawfoot tubs.

All reservations at The Ned NoMad grant access to the hotel’s bars and lounges with the only exception being the private rooftop den, Ned’s Club Upstairs. Start with a tipple at Little Ned which has shades of the OG hotel in the City of London through upholstered booths and atmospheric Art Deco lighting. Handmade pasta and traditional Northern Italy recipes are the backbone of the menu at upscale Cecconi’s while Ned’s Club Downstairs hosts nightly live music.

Two blocks south of the Empire State Building, the rooftop bar at Arlo NoMad flies to the top of the pile for birds-eye views. A.R.T. NoMad roosts on the 31st floor and serves craft cocktails and mezze during the summer months. At all other times, BARIo keeps the chills at bay in its Bedouin tent-inspired setting.

Dominated by walnut beds carved in a Japanese style, standard rooms at Arlo rely on nifty hacks such as under-bed storage to maximize the size. Modern touches include customizable lighting and bedside USB ports. Splurging on a terrace suite adds additional living space for a longer stay.

In place of good old-fashioned room service, Bodega is your personal pantry. This micro-market stocks a variety of artisanal nibbles alongside light bites to tide you over until dinner: Middle Eastern cuisine at the vibey Lamalo.
