Reaching this from the lobby took all of a few seconds on what was the quickest, quietest elevator I\u2019ve ever used. Contrary to the preference of most higher-end Marriott-affiliated hotels I\u2019ve stayed in, the TV was off when I entered the room. That\u2019s undoubtedly because the hotel doesn\u2019t want to distract from the room\u2019s star attraction: the unobstructed view of Manhattan. I nearly dropped by suitcase upon first glance out the window \u2013 there before me was downtown; even a New York novice like me could identify One World Trade Center and the Statue of Liberty.<\/p>\n<p>After some 10 minutes of star-struck skyline gazing, I finally turned to face the room\u2019s interior. To my right sat a mini-bar cabinet complete with a plethora of snacks and an expansive liquor and wine offering. Hungry from 24 hours of travel, I opened a bag of trail mix, not caring about the charge I was to incur for doing so. I was glad to see a Nespresso machine in place of a Keurig. Despite my historic struggles with consistently getting these machines to work properly, I\u2019d just returned from Japan, where daily practice had me feeling somewhat confident I\u2019d be able to successfully draw a cuppa in the morning. Above the bed, a string of mood lights were woven together like a helix, covering the room in pleasantly soft lighting that was functional but not intrusive.<\/p>\n<p>I then stepped into the expansive walk-in shower. As is expected at the Ritz, the water heated quickly and sufficiently, and the water pressure was sufficiently strong (and was easily adjustable if it wasn\u2019t). The king bed faced the king\u2019s view head-on. That night, as I lay trying to calm myself after a very long travel day, I turned out all the lights and let the skyline of a city that never sleeps woo me down. I felt myself melt into the sheets and never got up to close the curtains, certain that I\u2019d rather wake to this view than anything else.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Settling into the Club Lounge at the Ritz-Carlton NoMad<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_886151\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-886151\" class=\"size-full wp-image-886151 wow-me lazy\" alt=\"breakfast and view from Club Lounge at Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2133\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.matadornetwork.com\/blogs\/1\/2026\/02\/ritz-carlton-nomad-lounge.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-886151\" class=\"size-full wp-image-886151\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.matadornetwork.com\/blogs\/1\/2026\/02\/ritz-carlton-nomad-lounge.jpg\" alt=\"breakfast and view from Club Lounge at Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2133\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-886151\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Tim Wenger<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>My stay included access to the 36th-floor Ritz-Carlton NoMad Club Lounge, a private hospitality suite open from breakfast through dinner and serving complimentary buffet-style eats and drinks commensurate with the time of day (yes, that means mimosas in the mornings). I visited each morning for breakfast and can say with certainty that I\u2019ve never enjoyed breakfast with a better view, as tables sit aside large windows facing Lower Manhattan.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t your standard continental breakfast. Eggs are cooked fresh, the potatoes are perfectly sauteed, and just about any standard breakfast fare imaginable is on offer, from oatmeal to sliced fresh fruit. Coffee in all its incarnations is served by staff. Visiting in the afternoon is ideal for happy hour, with sports on TV in the lounge. There\u2019s no better spot in the city to drink a Manhattan while gazing at the drink\u2019s namesake.<\/p>\n<p>Some 37 floors below, the dungeon-like hotel gym offers a standard selection of free weights and cardio machines. Open 24 hours a day, I wound up here at about 4 am on my first overnight at the hotel because I\u2019d just arrived on a long-haul from Tokyo and couldn\u2019t sleep. The Club matched the vibe of the hotel\u2019s lobby, minimally decorated but incredibly comfortable and welcoming. The experience, amplified by beat-heavy background music, contrasted my experience staying at the somewhat stodgy Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences in Vail, Colorado, as this location is decidedly hipper, newer, and targets a clientele that arrives in New York expecting to immediately channel Manhattan\u2019s chic energy. The spa accentuates this, as does the chic Bazaar Bar in the lobby, also under the direction of Andr\u00e9s\u2019 culinary team.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Staff and service at the Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_886152\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-886152\" class=\"size-full wp-image-886152 wow-me lazy\" alt=\"view from nubcluz at ritz-carlton new york, nomad\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.matadornetwork.com\/blogs\/1\/2026\/02\/ritz-carlton-nomad-nubcluz.jpeg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-886152\" class=\"size-full wp-image-886152\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.matadornetwork.com\/blogs\/1\/2026\/02\/ritz-carlton-nomad-nubcluz.jpeg\" alt=\"view from nubcluz at ritz-carlton new york, nomad\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-886152\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>By the time I\u2019d arrived in New York, I\u2019d been traveling for nearly two weeks and realized I\u2019d left my computer\u2019s charger port behind. This was doubly troublesome because when traveling, I frequently charge my iPhone by plugging it into my laptop (don\u2019t bother telling me how bad this is for the computer battery, I\u2019m aware, and apparently don\u2019t care enough to change my habit). As such, both my phone and laptop were on the brink of dying. At around 3 AM I woke to no battery life on either and an inability to fall back asleep, so I went downstairs and asked the night attendant if the hotel had a charger I could borrow. He headed into a back room and returned with a dusty old charger that fit the mini-USB cord I had with me, and I can only presume this was his personal charger that he kept at work for times like this.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure mine was a small request in the lexicon of \u201cannoying guest asks,\u201d but the prompt solution to my query exemplified the service I received throughout my stay. The staff was exceptional without fail, and I must also give a shout-out to the women in the Club Lounge for being both willing to engage in early-mornings chats with a travel editor who very obviously doesn\u2019t meet the styleguide of the lounge\u2019s traditional guests, and who also could never figure out how to get his key card to open the door into the lounge itself. This meant I had to knock and then explain myself each time I wanted to come inside. Still, they welcomed me like family.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Experiencing Chef Jos\u00e9 Andr\u00e9s\u2019 famous Zaytinya, steps from my room<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_886153\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-886153\" class=\"size-full wp-image-886153 wow-me lazy\" alt=\"zaytinya dining room\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1069\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.matadornetwork.com\/blogs\/1\/2026\/02\/ritz-carlton-nomad-zaytinya.jpeg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-886153\" class=\"size-full wp-image-886153\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.matadornetwork.com\/blogs\/1\/2026\/02\/ritz-carlton-nomad-zaytinya.jpeg\" alt=\"zaytinya dining room\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1069\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-886153\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Michelin-starred celebrity chef Jos\u00e9 Andr\u00e9s oversees the culinary program at the Ritz-Carlton NoMad, headlined by his signature Zaytinya restaurant, which also has locations in Washington, DC; South Beach, Florida; Las Vegas, Nevada; and two additional outposts in California. I dined here with a fellow writer my second night in town, ordering a collection of tapas plates paired with wines introduced by the house sommelier. Zaytinya is an excellent place to eat when with a party of picky eaters like us, as ordering small plates here can be tailored to just about any dietary restriction.<\/p>\n<p>We ordered a collection of vegetarian mezze, including Hommus and Baba Ghannouge, followed by Grape Leaf Dolmades and a fantastic Honeydew Tzatziki. The latter shed the often overwhelming taste of strained yogurt that so frequently defines tzatziki for a subtler, sweeter taste that conjured dining on a Mediterranean Island moreso than in the big city. Another standout was the Seared Halloumi, which was nearly meatlike in its density but with a nutty, citrusy finish that only the best of Spanish chefs could conjure.<\/p>\n<p>From here we dove into the seafood mezze, with the Sea Scallops arriving perfectly seared with a side of tzatziki and a top of sesame rose spice. This dish was, for me, the highlight of the evening because it shifted my perception of a common seafood that I\u2019ve never particularly cared for \u2013 these scallops maintained a crisp freshness and were at no point overly salty or mushy.<\/p>\n<p>As someone who is frequently on the road for work, I\u2019ve become a fan of hotels where I can end a long day with a memorable meal and then easily meander straight to my room. This amenity itself isn\u2019t uncommon, as many great hotels have equally impressive restaurants. But iconic dining experiences such as Zaytinya make a stay at the Ritz-Carlton NoMad a uniquely full-circle experience.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Zaytinya, the hotel is home to Andr\u00e9s\u2019 Bazaar Meat steakhouse and the elevated (literally) Nubeluz rooftop bar and lounge, located atop the hotel with 360-degree views of the city. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-ender wow-me lazy\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" style=\"width:15px;height:15px;\" src=\"https:\/\/d36tnp772eyphs.cloudfront.net\/assets\/images\/matador-logo-small-2017-bw@3.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-ender\" src=\"https:\/\/d36tnp772eyphs.cloudfront.net\/assets\/images\/matador-logo-small-2017-bw@3.png\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" style=\"width:15px;height:15px;\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Book Now<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>window.dataLayer=window.dataLayer||[],dataLayer.push({\"gtm.start\":(new Date).getTime(),event:\"gtm.js\"}),window.GoogleAnalyticsObject=\"ga\",window.ga=window.ga||function(){(ga.q=ga.q||[]).push(arguments)},ga.l=1*new Date,window.allGa=function(){},window.fbq=window.fbq||function(){fbq.callMethod?fbq.callMethod.apply(fbq,arguments):fbq.queue.push(arguments)},window._fbq||(window._fbq=fbq),fbq.push=fbq,fbq.loaded=!0,fbq.version=\"2.0\",fbq.queue=[],window.mnTrack=()=>{},window.enableTracking=()=>{function a(){dataLayer.push(arguments)}window.isTrackingConsentNeeded=!1,window.dataLayer=window.dataLayer||[],dataLayer.push({eu_c:2}),[\"https:\/\/www.google-analytics.com\/analytics.js\",\"https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtm.js?id=GTM-59BP9J\",\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js\",\"https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=G-QKD85ZJNHR\"].forEach(function(u){var s=document.createElement(\"script\");s.async=!0,s.src=u,document.head.appendChild(s)});if(window.ua_enabled)for(var e of window.ga_properties)ga(\"create\",e.tracking_id,e.cookie_domain,{name:e.name,allowLinker:!0});if(window.ga4_enabled){var n={};for(var i in window.ga_custom_vars)n[window.ga_dimension_definitions[i]]=i;a(\"js\",new Date),a(\"config\",\"G-QKD85ZJNHR\",{custom_map:n})}for(var i in window.ga_custom_vars)window.ua_enabled&&ga(\"set\",window.ga_dimension_definitions[i],ga_custom_vars[i]),window.ga4_enabled&&a(\"event\",i+\"_dimension\",{[i]:ga_custom_vars[i]});if(allGa=function(){if(arguments.length){var a=[].slice.call(arguments);ga(function(){for(var e=a[0],n=ga.getAll(),i=0;i<n.length;i++)a[0]=n[i].get(\"name\")+\".\"+e,ga.apply(ga,a)})}},allGa(\"set\",\"anonymizeIp\",!0),mnTrack=(e=\"\",n={})=>{if(window.ga4_enabled&&!n.no_ga4&&a(\"event\",e,n),n.no_ga4&&delete n.no_ga4,window.ua_enabled){var i=[\"send\",\"event\"];\"page_view\"===e?(i[0]=\"send\",i[1]=\"pageview\",i[2]=void 0!==n.slug?n.slug:\"\",i=i.concat(n)):(i[2]=e,i[3]=void 0!==n.action?n.action:\"\",i[4]=void 0!==n.label?n.label:\"\",i[5]=void 0!==n.value?n.value:0,i[6]=void 0!==n.nonInteraction?{nonInteraction:1}:{}),allGa.apply(!1,i)}},mnTrack(\"page_view\",{no_ga4:!0}),fbq(\"dataProcessingOptions\",[\"LDU\"],0,0),fbq(\"init\",\"890302741001574\"),fbq(\"track\",\"PageView\"),!window.disableAds){var o=document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0],t=document.createElement(\"script\");t.async=!0,t.src=\"https:\/\/securepubads.g.doubleclick.net\/tag\/js\/gpt.js\",o.parentNode.insertBefore(t,o)}},\/(^| )(CONSENT=2|EU=\\(null\\))(;|$)\/.test(document.cookie)?enableTracking():window.isTrackingConsentNeeded=!\/(^| )CONSENT=0(;|$)\/.test(document.cookie);\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We hope you love the Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad!
