The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad: NoMad 50-story skyscraper palace designed by Rafael Viñoly with Zaytinya and Bazaar by José Andrés, and Nubeluz rooftop

Towering with sleek contemporary glass architectural nobility as a soaring 50-story skyscraper at Broadway and 28th Street in the vibrant heart of the historic Flower District in NoMad, Manhattan, New York, United States (just steps from the Flatiron Building, Madison Square Park, and the Empire State Building, 25 minutes from LaGuardia and JFK Airports), The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad opened in 2022 as Manhattan’s premier ultra-luxury culinary and design grand palace. Masterfully envisioned by world-renowned architect Rafael Viñoly with lush floral-inspired interiors by Rockwell Group and Lazaro Rosa-Violan, the 250-room luxury palace is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, living botanical gardens, and raw timber. Featuring three acclaimed dining concepts by Michelin-starred celebrity Chef José Andrés (including the Eastern Mediterranean institution Zaytinya, the avant-garde dining theater The Bazaar by José Andrés, and the glamorous 500-foot-high 50th-floor rooftop lounge Nubeluz), this property is New York’s ultimate luxury grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Manhattan contemporary glamour and NoMad Flower District splendour: liveried doormen greet guests beneath Rafael Viñoly’s soaring glass canopy on Broadway before stepping into Rockwell Group’s luminous lobby filled with living green plants, dramatic floral installations, and chilled botanical beverages with warm artisanal pastries. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke New York architectural, culinary, and shopping pursuits: walking to explore the iconic Flatiron Building, Madison Square Park, and Dover Street Market (steps away), private guided tours of the High Line, Hudson Yards, and Whitney Museum in the Meatpacking District (10 minutes away), private VIP shopping in nearby SoHo and 5th Avenue (10 minutes away), working out in the 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness center with Peloton bikes, indulging in Augustinus Bader skincare therapies at The Ritz-Carlton Spa, sipping craft cocktails with 360-degree skyline views at Nubeluz on the 50th floor, and reserving dinner at Zaytinya or The Bazaar.

Palace living balances active Manhattan exploration with serene subterranean botanical spa wellness: The Ritz-Carlton Spa spans 6,800 square feet featuring 8 private luxury treatment suites, steam rooms, saunas, and therapies utilizing Augustinus Bader skincare and ESPA essentials. Dining is an extraordinary culinary summit curated entirely by Chef José Andrés: Eastern Mediterranean mezze at Zaytinya (featuring crispy Brussels sprouts, lamb kleftiko, and Greek Grand Crus), Spanish-Japanese avant-garde gastronomy at The Bazaar, cloud-level cocktails at Nubeluz (500 feet high), and 24-hour in-room royal dining.

Accommodations comprise 250 rooms and luxury executive suites styled by Rockwell Group in natural timber boiserie, bespoke floral textiles, deep soaking terrazzo bathtubs positioned against glass, and unobstructed floor-to-ceiling glass framing Downtown Manhattan, One World Trade Center, or the Empire State Building ranging from 42 to 200 square metres. Each residence features plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom Diptyque Philosykos amenities.
