We've already booked another night and we live 12 miles away which probably says it all. The NoMad is perfect if you grew up wanting to run off to Paris to write, read Rimbaud at a sidewalk cafe while sipping Pernod, and your idea of a perfect day was wandering the Left Bank searching for old photographs and antique post cards. It will conjure all that and more the second you step in the door. Yes, the doormen all look amazing because they're wearing suits by Bespoken. Yes, you should have thought about making a reservation for dinner when you booked your room, because it is Daniel Humm who conceived the casually perfect menu and the tables fill up early. But there's 24 hour rooms service to console if you just didn't know. Yes, it's dark. And dramatic. Just going to the public restrooms is going to feel like an adventure. Your bed is going to be heaven, the bath products divine (did you know that Argan oil comes from a tree so scarce it is protected by UNESCO?), and you'll probably start writing the Great American Novel from the little desk in your room (but on the iPad they'll lend you from the front desk, of course). Views outside as the sun sets remind you of Georgia O'Keeffe's NYC views as she was just warming up to what she would become. In short - this is a destination hotel - and is going to evoke all manner of things artful. The staff is suitably sublime.
My five stars are based on the hotel delivering exactly what it sets out to do. Is this the place to bring the kids? No. House your relatives from Schenectady? Not really. It will not be everyone's cup of tea, or latte which is just fine, or it would be come impossible to get a reservation. Which is just fine with me.

Visited for 10th anniversary stay in Manhattan. Conveniently situated between Macy's, the Flatiron building and the Empire State Building. The room was spacious and well laid out. Service was friendly and efficient and the hotel has a great bar area and other public rooms. Bell boys were prepared to move heaven and earth to get you a cap at the busiest times. recommended

At first we were not sure of the location as we have always stayed elsewhere. But the Nomad has found just the right spot. There is everying you need close by but you fell like you are in an oasis once you walk throught the door. The staff are brilliant, the rooms amazing the bar so cool, the library an haven of peace and tranquility.
The rates are really good too.
For the hotest, hipest new hotel in town try the Nomad. Its a wnner

Choosing a hotel in NYC is a difficult task - too many times, you end up in a tiny room, or a place with bad service, or both.

The NoMad Hotel is different. It's brand new (opened in April '12), but does not feel that way. The little reception counter handles all your needs, very efficiently, and you immediately notice the noise from the bar & restaurant on the ground floor - definitely a place to be in NY these days.
Our room (we chose an Atelier room) was surprisingly big and very, very cosy. The free standing classic bathtub is not only a design element, but comes very handy after a day of shopping and running around. The bed was big and comfortable, sleep quality was excellent, even though the room was situated on the Broadway side (6th floor).

We had dinner at the NoMad restaurant (reserve early, it's one of the hot spots in NY). At 7pm, it was already packed with people, but service was quick & excellent, and the food outstanding (the whole roasted chicken with truffle and foie gras stuffing - out of this world!).

Bell captains and doormen were helpful. If there is anything to criticize, it would probably be the timing of the room makeup (a little late some days), and the difficulties of finding a taxi at some times of the day.

Otherwise, it's perfect for any kind of stay in NY - a Subway station round the corner provides quick transport up- as well as downtown, and the room is a nice refuge after a busy day (or night). Highly recommendable.
