The Ritz-Carlton New York, Nomad, epitomizes timeless luxury and refined hospitality in the heart of the city, offering an unparalleled experience of elegance and sophistication.
Ascending to a majestic height of 500 feet, the newly erected hotel emerges as a pinnacle of modern opulence within the heart of Manhattan's Nomad district. Collaborations with globally acclaimed design luminaries, including Rafael Viñoly Architects, Rockwell Group, Lazaro Rosa-Violan Studio, Martin Brudnizki, and SUSSURUS International, have yielded a daring and contemporary aesthetic that eloquently honors the hotel's residence within the dynamic Flower District of the city.
The hotel boasts 219 guestrooms, 31 suites and 16 one and two-bedroom penthouse residences, each meticulously designed to exude an exquisite floral aesthetic with natural elements and textures that emulate the graceful contours of petals. This botanical inspiration intertwines seamlessly with modern sophistication, mirroring the verticality and structure of New York City. Reflecting the essence of residential luxury, the guestrooms feature bespoke furnishings and a serene color palette, allowing the expansive living spaces and captivating urban vistas to shine.
The opulent 2,100 square foot Ritz-Carlton Suite, nestled on the 37th floor, showcases a private wellness enclave complete with a Peloton® bike, alongside distinct living and dining spaces, a media room, a generous 194 square foot walk-in closet, and a discreet service entrance. To further enhance the experience, all guestrooms offer the indulgence of Diptyque bathroom amenities.
The hotel's culinary offerings present an unparalleled partnership, with all dining experiences, both within the venues and in-room, curated by the Michelin-starred maestro, Chef José Andrés. Zaytinya, a delightful nod to the essence of olive oil in Turkish, beckons guests with an inventive array of mezze selections and imaginative libations inspired by the culinary treasures of Turkey, Greece, and Lebanon. Elevating the city's nocturnal allure, Nubeluz resides atop the hotel, offering an expansive panorama of Manhattan across a sweeping 270-degree canvas.
A symphony of classic and bespoke cocktails, alongside curated culinary delights, awaits, including the option to create personalized Tablas featuring jamón, queso, and embutidos. Nestled on the first floor, The Lobby Lounge and Bar welcomes guests to savor morning pastries with coffee, luxuriate in afternoon champagne, or partake in an evening nightcap. In the forthcoming second quarter of 2023, New York's culinary landscape will be graced with The Bazaar by José Andrés, a high-end avant-garde dining haven that beckons connoisseurs on an extraordinary sensory odyssey. Anchored in Andrés' Spanish heritage, it promises an interplay of sophisticated cuisine, artistic service, and whimsical theatrics, fusing into an unforgettable experience.
