Since it made its eagerly awaited debut in mid-2021, the NH Collection New York Madison Avenue has been one of midtown Manhattan’s hottest new hotels, thanks to its spacious, stylish rooms and fantastic food and beverage on offer. Wayfarer checks-in.

The NH Collection New York Madison Avenue is led by General Manager, Carlos Salomon, who says “staying at the enchanted property takes guests on a journey back in time to one of the most iconic periods of Gotham’s history”.

“Located in a building inspired by the Renaissance Revival architecture of the 1920’s, the hotel exudes splendour, creativity and all the buzz of the city’s Golden Age of Advertising,” he says.

“The NH Collection New York Madison Avenue allow guests to soak in the ambience of 1950’s Madison Avenue while enjoying all the conveniences of the new millennium. Its style is distinctly European, with a touch of eclectic elegance.

“That nostalgia carries through to the establishment’s common areas, designed to foster convivial experiences.

“Warm rooms with welcoming fireplaces, areas for resting in comfort and quiet but vibrantly decorated work spaces are just a few of the lobby’s charms.”

Salomon says surrounded by some of the most emblematic skyscrapers of New York’s skyline, most of the hotel’s 288 rooms offer stunning city views.

“With an exceptional terrace looking out over the Empire State Building, the Presidential Suite will give its fortunate guests a stunning vantage point from which to view the soul of the city,” he says.

“Decorated with elegant furniture crafted from walnut wood, both the suites and the deluxe rooms are equipped with the brand’s outstanding amenities, thus offering the highest standards of comfort.”

Also headlining the experience is the food and beverage on offer, including MAD Bar and Lounge, a top spot for cocktails, bites and live jazz music, as well as the latest NYC outpost of Serafina, which offers contemporary Italian cuisine crafted with quality ingredients and fused with an energetic vibe.

The NH Collection New York Madison Avenue is located in one of the most exciting areas of Manhattan, close to Grand Central Station, Times Square, Bryant Park and Broadway, as well as being easily accessible from the city’s three airports.

Also nearby are some of the Madison Avenue’s most fashionable boutiques, as well as shopping meccas such as Saks 5th Avenue, Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s Herald Square.
