Summary
Introduction to Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad
Tomorrow, the 106th Ritz-Carlton opens on the corner of 28th and Broadway.
The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad, a newly built 50-story hotel with design by A-list talent including Martin Brudnizki and the Rockwell Group, debuts 20 years after its sister hotel, The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park. While the 250-room NoMad property aspires to match the luxury of its uptown counterpart, it also showcases a vibrant, spirited atmosphere, complete with a ’20s-inspired rooftop speakeasy and abundant greenery in the lobby.
Design and Architecture
As Donna McNamara, vice president and global brand leader for The Ritz-Carlton, states, “This is [The Ritz-Carlton’s] first new build in the U.S. in quite some time. And to have that in New York City is a very rare opportunity.” Spanning four years, from groundbreaking in 2018 to completion, this hotel exemplifies impressive turnaround times amid challenges faced during the pandemic.
Before opening, the hotel hosted a vibrant pep rally in its 10,000-square-foot ballroom, highlighting the enthusiasm among the staff. Marriott CEO Anthony Capuano praised the new property, emphasizing its spectacular features: “Floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere I look, maybe the most beautiful bar I’ve ever seen, an incredible food and beverage partner, multiple outlets, and a stunning spa. You’re going to be the talk of New York.” This enthusiasm underscores a commitment to excellence from the very beginning.
Culinary Offerings
In a neighborhood known for culinary prowess, The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad enhances the local dining scene. Partnering with well-known chef José Andrés, the hotel will introduce two signature restaurants: Zaytinya (opening July 26 along with the hotel) and a new outpost of The Bazaar, set to debut by year-end. The aim is to elevate the culinary offerings within this vibrant neighborhood.
Exceptional Amenities
Perched on the 50th floor is Nubeluz, a bar that evokes ’20s glamour, designed by Martin Brudnizki. With sweeping views of the city, this speakeasy-style venue will feature crafted cocktails paired with Andrés-approved tapas and charcuterie. The hotel’s overall aesthetic mixes vintage and contemporary styles. The Ritz-Carlton Suite features a separate media room and a Peloton, while the expansive subterranean spa offers high-tech facilities, perfect for indulgence and relaxation.
Conclusion
The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad is poised to redefine luxury hospitality in Manhattan. Its design captures the vibrant essence of the NoMad area, while its culinary and wellness offerings highlight a commitment to quality. As McNamara mentioned, showcasing a fresh experience for newcomers and loyalists alike is a remarkable opportunity for the Ritz-Carlton brand.
