After years wrapped in
renovation, the NoMad is finally unveiled. Located on the in the historic
district North of Madison Square Park (hence the neighborhood’s nickname NoMad)
the hotel is a homage to Paris in the twenties, taking advantage of the 100+
year-old building’s original opulence. The overall feeling is warm and
charming, striving for romantic.
The hood is still a bit
shabby, but that’s also slowly changing. WIth block the ultra hip Ace Hotel
just one block away, that area is bound to become a destination.
I love the concept for curating
the books in the library. According to Andrew Zobler, the owner of the hotel,
the idea was to recreate the reading taste of a well-educated twenty something
French educated woman who moves to NYC in the quest for romance and adventure.
The restaurant’s team
couldn’t be better: Daniel Humm and Will Guidara, of Michelin-three-starred
Eleven Madison Park.
The elegant setting and the
direct sunrays that shine through the enormous skylight in the building’s
courtyard is stunning and ensures a bright atmosphere for a breakfast meeting,
or leisurely brunch.
The meticulously restored copper cupola will house the bar of a rooftop restaurant, opening this summer.
This is a movie I made about my recent visit and tour of a couple of rooms.
Still operating under soft
opening rates, but not for long. When booked in advance you can get a small
discount. (328 for a basic “classic” room instead of 345).
