Cats are welcomed with the brand's characteristic ease — no excessive policy language, no performance. The NoMad location places guests near Madison Square Park, one of Manhattan's best maintained small parks for leash walks, and within the city's most interesting mid-Midtown restaurant and cultural corridor. The hotel's room range is wide, from compact to surprisingly spacious, and its creative programming keeps the common areas animated.

A strong value proposition for owners who appreciate European hotel sensibility and want NoMad access at a competitive price without sacrificing service quality.
