The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad

About

Rising above Broadway at the meeting point of NoMad and the Flatiron district, The Ritz Carlton New York, NoMad arrives as a confident new line in Manhattan’s architectural conversation. The tower, designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects, climbs with elegant restraint. Pale stone and bronze toned metal give the façade a quiet gravity that feels at home among the historic masonry buildings of the neighborhood while clearly belonging to the twenty first century skyline. Inside, the mood shifts from urban bustle to cultivated calm. Interiors by Martin Brudnizki layer velvet, marble, and warm light with the theatrical polish that New York hospitality does best. Floor to ceiling windows keep the city in constant view. Madison Square Park, the Empire State Building, and the restless grid of Midtown appear like living scenery. The address carries its own quiet pedigree. NoMad once thrived as a corridor of grand hotels, publishing houses, and Tin Pan Alley songwriters. Today the Ritz Carlton returns that tradition of cosmopolitan glamour, with José Andrés bringing Mediterranean energy to Zaytinya and the rooftop bar Nubeluz floating high above the avenues like a modern observatory.
