Ask a New York City regular where to stay in Manhattan and they’ll tell you NoMad is the coolest downtown neighborhood. The clue is in the name: NoMad, or Madison Square North, bounces right off the north end of Madison Square Park. A recent revival has brought a surge in luxury hotels, inventive bistros, and voguish bars to this historic 30-block nook. NoMad hotels are close (but not too close) to Times Square while Chelsea and the Flatiron District are on the doorstep. The “North of Madison Square Park” neighborhood is ripe with luxury hotels for sightseeing and nightlife in NYC, and the new INNSiDE by Meliá New York NoMad leads the pack.
We hope you love these NoMad hotels! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.
Meliá Hotels knew to make its Big Apple debut in this on-trend NYC neighborhood. INNSiDE New York NoMad combines location, luxury, and lifestyle amenities including a round-the-clock fitness suite and a seasonal garden bar.
Entry-level rooms give the choice of a queen or king-size bed bathed in natural light courtesy of floor-to-ceiling windows granting a glimpse at skyscrapers. The City View portfolio bumps this up to a full-blown Manhattan skyline from bed but pushing the boat out for the Townhouse Suite throws a private terrace into the mix. Let’s just say, there’s little need to summit the Top of the Rock.
Although INNSiDE by Meliá New York NoMad is a favorite for couples, the hotel is equally popular among families and business travelers. The Family Loft more than doubles the floorplan and adds a second bathroom. All units feature Nespresso coffee machines, organic bathing products, and complimentary Wi-Fi as standard.
The Meliá’s purple bulldog mascot is a telltale sign that four-legged guests get just as grand a welcome as whoever’s footing the bill. Pet-friendly rooms at INNSiDE New York NoMad are readied with an orthopedic memory foam bed, snuggly blankets, and an arrival gift. There’s even a dedicated dog menu at the signature restaurant.
Open from breakfast through to supper, The Wilson will tempt you to dine in. This candlelit bistro specializes in northeastern coastal cuisine with a global twist. Think, Maine lobster rolls served alongside oyster bao buns and happy hour mini tuna tacos. At the very least, power up over a smoked salmon bagel before hopping on one of the property’s rental bikes.

The number of seniors on the slopes has reached epic proportions. In 2020-21 seniors accounted for 16.1% of skier visits, totaling 59 million, while a record 10.5 million seniors participated in the sport according to the National Ski Areas Association. Contrary to popular belief, not all seniors are snowbirds who fly south at the first sign of winter.
I began my exploration of the countless bike paths in New York City as soon as I arrived. As a longtime cyclist in London, I knew that cycling is a satisfying way to get to know a city as a newcomer, and it’s no different in New York: you whip through neighborhoods, witnessing the landscape changing character dramatically between blocks. (My first ever bike ride took me past the copper-colored mansions of Brooklyn Heights, along the tourist-crowded cobbled streets of Dumbo, through Hasidic South Williamsburg and ended outside a crummy dive bar on Grand.) Riding a bike also requires a certain mindset, a kind of calm hyper awareness as you assess your surroundings. It means that you really notice things on a bike: potholes and perfectly flattened rats that need dodging, but also scraps of conversations, or the gauzy silhouette of the Empire State Building peeking out behind skyscrapers to signpost where you are.
