The James Nomad

The hotel is a beauty – set in a gorgeous building on the corner of Madison and 29th, the interiors are executed in a current way that plays well with the stunning exterior.

The staff was absolutely wonderful – from the front desk to the management, every single person I spoke with was kind, outgoing, and was there to please. Felt right at home!

The room was spacious, clean, and neatly laid out – at 630 square feet, the suite made remarkable use of the space, and every inch was thoughtfully considered for maximum satisfaction. I especially enjoyed the open table – ideal for sketching in my kaftan.

The beautifully adorned lobby served as a productive workspace, too – kitted out with quick WiFi and numerous travel tomes (including Nomad Deluxe by Herbert Ypma [get at me Assouline!]), which occupied over an hour of my time.

Daily wine hour from 5 – 6. Come on.

Location is prime – just blocks from Eataly, Restaurant Row, Gramercy Park, Madison Park (Shake Shack), and in easy walking distance to multiple subway lines, you can easily be anywhere you to need to be in mere minutes. However, with all the local eats (MARTA’s pizza made my night), why go anywhere else?
