The Ned NoMad

The NoMad Hotel | Bon Appétit

"GO HERE: for your family who will be spending a majority of their vacation in the squares (Times, Herald, Washington). It’s in close proximity (or quick subway ride away) from the tourist traps, but the chic hotel with 168 bright, breezy rooms is a destination worthy of itself. Hit up the restaurant downstairs for Daniel Humm’s more casual but no less luxurious cooking—roast chicken stuffed with foie gras and truffles—or slink into the moody, tavern-like bar for equally showstopping drinks, like the massive large-format Whiskey Smash. THE VIBE IS: swanky but crowded downstairs at the venues, often frequented by finance folks who work close by or tourists staying at the hotel. But the rooms, outfitted with clawfoot tubs and custom linens and bathrobes from luxe Italian designers Sferra and Frette, are the perfect escape from the Midtown tourist hustle. PRACTICAL STUFF: Rates start at $285. —Elyse Inamine" - Condé Nast
