About The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad
- The 50-story tower was designed by Rafael Viñoly, the architect behind 432 Park Avenue and London's 'Walkie-Talkie' building, with interiors by Stockholm-born designer Martin Brudnizki.
- NoMad, meaning 'North of Madison Square Park,' was New York's original hotel row in the decades after the Civil War, before the city's hotel geography shifted north toward Times Square.
History
The NoMad district — North of Madison Square Park — was New York's original hotel row in the decades after the Civil War, when the city's most fashionable hostelries clustered around Madison Square and the stretch of Broadway that carried wealthy travelers uptown from the ferries and rail terminals downtown. The neighborhood gave way to Times Square and the West Forties as the city's hotel geography shifted northward through the twentieth century, leaving NoMad a mixed commercial district that, by the early 2000s, was experiencing a second wave of investment as restaurants, boutique hotels, and technology companies began recolonizing the old loft buildings.
The tower that became The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad rose on a full midblock site at 25 West 28th Street, and its fifty stories of glass-clad architecture were designed by Rafael Viñoly, the Uruguayan-born architect best known for 432 Park Avenue and the Walkie-Talkie building in London. Viñoly's practice had long been associated with cultural and institutional commissions — concert halls, museums, research facilities — and bringing him to a hotel tower signaled the ambitions of the project. The building, completed and opened in August 2022, became the first Ritz-Carlton address in New York south of 59th Street, and the brand's second foothold in the city.
The hotel occupies floors twenty through thirty-five of the mixed-use tower, with Ritz-Carlton Residences taking the floors above. Martin Brudnizki, the Stockholm-born London-based designer whose work at Annabel's and the Brasserie Zédel helped define the contemporary luxury interior idiom in the United Kingdom, handled the interiors — a collaboration with Viñoly's architecture that produced rooms warm enough in material and color to read as residential rather than corporate.
The culinary program was entrusted to José Andrés, the James Beard Award-winning Spanish-American chef whose ThinkFoodGroup had already become one of the most prolific restaurant operators in American luxury hospitality. Andrés installed three concepts in the building: Zaytinya, his Mediterranean mezze restaurant appearing here in its first New York location; Bazaar Meat, his theatrical steakhouse; and on the 50th floor, Nubeluz, a rooftop lounge with 270-degree views taking in Madison Square Park to the south, the Flatiron Building to the southwest, and the Empire State Building rising directly overhead. The hotel received Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond designations, a rapid validation for a property that had made its debut in a neighborhood already crowded with ambition.
The setting
The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad stands at 25 West 28th Street in a neighborhood whose name — North of Madison Square Park — understates a history that includes New York's first great hotel row, Tin Pan Alley's music publishers at 28th Street, and the 1913 Armory Show that introduced modern art to America. The Empire State Building is eight minutes on foot and Madison Square Park steps away, with the Flatiron Building visible to the south — an assembly of iconic landmarks framing a neighborhood that underwent a sweeping luxury renaissance in the 2010s. Destination restaurants, design hotels, and a resurgent gallery scene have established NoMad as one of Manhattan's most sought-after addresses for discerning travelers.
