Cat Pick
The restored historic building creates an arrival atmosphere that is warmer and less institutionally impersonal than newer construction — a benefit for cats adjusting to unfamiliar environments. Madison Square Park's East 27th Street entrance is one minute from the hotel entrance, providing the most immediate park access of any NoMad hotel. The building's historic acoustic character means room noise profiles vary; request a room facing the interior of the building rather than East 27th Street for the quietest conditions. The NoMad neighbourhood's restaurant concentration — within two to three blocks — means in-room dining options are excellent. Request suite or larger room categories for cats needing more territorial space.
The Evelyn Hotel receives enthusiastic reviews for its beautifully restored historic building and the boutique intimacy that new construction rarely achieves. Reviewers consistently highlight the personal service and genuine attention to individual guest experience. Madison Square Park adjacency is praised as an excellent leash walk destination within easy walking distance. The surrounding NoMad neighbourhood's dining density earns consistent positive marks. Reviewers describe the calmer, more historically atmospheric environment as directly beneficial for cats adjusting to hotel settings. Staff is noted as warm and genuinely attentive. Rooms are praised for their character and comfort. Some reviewers note the hotel's quieter social atmosphere distinguishes it favourably from noisier NoMad competitors. Overall, the Evelyn is described as one of NoMad's most characterful and thoughtfully personal boutique options.
