Editorial take

Who should book The Ned NoMad?

If this is your first New York trip, shortlist The Ned NoMad for a practical reason: Couples, design, restaurants, repeat visitors. The name, star rating and lobby photos matter, but the real test is whether the location helps your days feel easier.

It is less compelling if you want family space, budget rates or times square convenience. Before booking from the UK, compare the final price after taxes and property fees, check the exact room setup and make sure your airport arrival route is not needlessly awkward.

First-timer context

Why The Ned NoMad might feel special.

What it is known for

  • The hotel occupies the Johnston Building of 1903, originally owned by Caroline A. Johnston, a rare female hotel proprietor in that era.
  • Rooms range from 300 square foot Crash Pads to the 1,800 square foot Johnston Terrace Suite, so the spread within one hotel is unusually wide.
  • Parts of the building operate as Ned's Club, a members' club, with the rooftop restaurant reserved for members and hotel guests.

New York moments

  • The building previously traded as the NoMad Hotel, one of the properties that gave the neighbourhood its current reputation.
  • Cecconi's, the ground-floor Italian restaurant, is part of the same group as the London original.

On screen

  • The Beaux-Arts facade is a NoMad landmark rather than a filming location.

Review questions

What travellers keep asking.

Is this the old NoMad Hotel?

Yes, the same building at 1170 Broadway. It now trades as The Ned NoMad, so reviews from the earlier NoMad Hotel era describe a different operation.

Can hotel guests use the members' club?

Hotel guests generally get access to areas otherwise reserved for members, including the rooftop. Confirm exactly what is included with your rate, as this is a key part of the value.

Booking checklist

Check these before you reserve.

Total price

Look beyond the nightly rate. Check taxes, destination fees, breakfast and cancellation.

Room layout

For New York, room size, bathroom privacy, bed type and storage can matter more than star rating.

Arrival route

Match the hotel to your airport, luggage and arrival time, especially after an overnight UK flight.
