The NoMad was an integrated hotel and restaurant owned by the Sydell Group[4] and located in the NoMad neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The restaurant of the same name was conceived by chef Daniel Humm and restaurateur Will Guidara of nearby Eleven Madison Park.[5] The hotel was sometimes referred to as NoMad New York to differentiate from its sister locations in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. The building is a contributing property to the Madison Square North Historic District, a New York City Landmark.

The hotel was conceived by Andrew Zobler, Founder and CEO of the Sydell Group.[6] The building has 12 floors and a Beaux-Arts facade. The interior was designed by French architect Jacques Garcia, inspired by the Parisian apartment of his youth.[7] It was named after the relatively new NoMad neighborhood during a period of popularity.[8]
The hotel closed permanently in March 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The NoMad restaurant opened in 2012[1] and had one Michelin star.[2] It serves seasonal European-American cuisine.[10] Their signature dish was a whole roasted chicken for two stuffed with foie gras and truffles.[8] James Kent was the executive chef from 2013 to 2017.[11]
Food critic Adam Platt described the restaurant as appealing to multiple different audiences, with "a hodgepodge of styles under one roof". The restaurant had five rooms, including a glass-ceiling atrium for dining and a stand-up bar for cocktails, wine, and snacks. The library and parlour also offered additional seating in different atmospheres.[12]
Humm and Guidara ran the nearby restaurant Eleven Madison Park, owned by Danny Meyer. Their proposal to open the NoMad restaurant themselves prompted Meyer to sell them Eleven Madison Park, as the two restaurants would be in competition.[9]
