NoMad New York
Stop and linger a while, wanderer...
To have the fortune of staying at NoMad New York is to be spoiled for choice. Or you could just give yourself enough time to savour its various bars, fireplace, atrium, and library! Every last part of the hotel invites you to while away the hours – ideally in the company of a Monkey and Tonic, of course. Before we get ahead of ourselves, however, let's start at the beginning. The NoMad, which has a pronounced elegance perfectly suited to the turn-of-the-century Beaux Arts building it calls home, got its French flair from designer Jacques Garcia, who took inspiration from his childhood bedroom in Paris. You can feel it in every corner, as well: Each hotel room features a large, inviting bed decorated with a leather-bound headboard and surrounded by antique carpets. A free-standing bathtub suggests a quick, relaxing soak before you head to the restaurant for the sustenance you’ll need to see out the day properly at the bar. Alternatively, you can start with an edifying, Monkey-infused aperitif in the library, proceed to pampering your palate, and then sit down at the bar with Leo Robitschek and his team. They’ll be happy to advise you on how you might want to enjoy your next Monkey 47 – another Monkey and Tonic, or perhaps in one of their renowned cocktails? You can’t really go wrong; they're all award-winning, and the bar itself has been on the prestigious list of the World's 50 Best Bars since 2014. Plus, if you decide to let your indulgence run free for an evening, your beautiful room won’t be far way. Enough gushing, though – simply hop a plane to the Big Apple and experience the NoMad for yourself. You’ll be glad you did. Cheers!
