Our review of Ritz-Carlton NoMad explores this dazzling addition to New York, delving into its unparalleled design, unique offerings, and the aura it adds to the vibrant tapestry of the Big Apple.

Design

The Ritz-Carlton NoMad stands tall as an architectural marvel in the heart of New York’s dynamic NoMad district. Developed by the Flag Luxury Group, this 50-story edifice has been crafted by the combined genius of Rafael Viñoly Architects, Rockwell Group, Lazaro Rosa-Violan Studio, Martin Brudnizki, and SUSSURUS International. Drawing inspiration from the neighborhood’s rich floral history, the design seamlessly blends contemporary aesthetics with elements of the past.

The hotel offers 219 guestrooms, 31 suites, and 16 penthouse residences, each echoing the area’s blooming legacy through vibrant floral expressions and textures. Neutral tones frame the rooms, letting the sweeping city views and light-filled living spaces take center stage. With city views from the bathtubs,  your breath will be taken away.

VIP Experiences

The Club Level offers an exclusive Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge, providing a comfortable space for guests to work or relax while enjoying a variety of culinary delights throughout the day. Further enhancing the VIP experience, the expansive Ritz-Carlton Spa offers Augustinus Bader’s signature facial, The Method, with an exclusive twist inspired by the scents of the New York Flower District.

The Neighborhood

Situated in the historical Tin Pan Alley, the hotel stands amidst a fusion of culture, fashion, entertainment, and technology. Its central location provides easy access to shopping, dining, and cultural options, offering the best of New York at your doorstep.

From the ground-floor Zaytinya, serving a unique fusion of Turkish, Greek, and Lebanese cuisines, to the rooftop Nubeluz, providing panoramic city views along with exquisite dining options – each venue guarantees a gastronomic adventure. The forthcoming Bazaar by José Andrés promises a thrilling gourmet experience merging cuisine, presentation, and exceptional service.

The Ritz-Carlton NoMad sets a new precedent in New York City’s flourishing hospitality landscape with its artful combination of age-old elegance and contemporary refinement. This hotel, a physical manifestation of the city’s nuanced sophistication, offers not just a place to stay but an immersive journey into the city’s vibrant heartbeat. We’re absolutely convinced that the Ritz-Carlton NoMad delivers a slice of New York’s unique essence with every interaction.

  • The recurring floral themes, in harmony with a subtle fresh aroma permeating the premises, enhanced the ambience.
  • Given NoMad’s prime location, this hotel is an excellent choice for both leisure and business travelers.
  • The guest rooms, starting on the 14th floor, offer a street-style view, while a bird’s-eye view of the city’s skyline begins from accommodations on the 22nd floor and above.
  • The upcoming New York outpost of Bazaar adds to the anticipation.
  • The facility’s 24-hour fitness center is perfect.
  • The versatility of The Lobby Lounge catered to both my desires for serenity and lively engagement.
  • The hotel extends over 10,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, featuring The Ritz-Carlton Ballroom, Madison Bar, and Madison Terrace.
  • I found myself enthralled by the spa’s steam rooms and saunas, an expansive 6,800-square-foot sanctuary.
  • Unlike its predecessor, this Ritz-Carlton iteration radiates a more contemporary vibe. The decor, lush with dark browns, greens, and verdant foliage, exudes a jungle-inspired atmosphere.
  • However, it’s the window-side bathtubs that truly make this hotel an unforgettable experience for me.

As the Ritz-Carlton New York NoMad opens its doors, it beckons guests into a world where the timeless grace of the Ritz-Carlton coalesces with the dynamic verve of NoMad. This fusion creates a stay that is as unforgettable as the city it resides in, shaping moments and memories that truly last.
