"The stunning 1904 Beaux-Arts building at 29th and Madison has been a hotel, under one name or another, for well over a century. But it’s hard to imagine it ever looked fresher than it does in its 21st-century incarnation as the James New York NoMad. Interiors are stylish, thanks to the fine work of designer Thomas Juul-Hanson, but not so theatrical as to put off more traditionally minded business travelers." - Mark Fedeli
