Where else but NoMad, prized as much for its convenience to other neighborhoods as for its own inherent charms, for a hotel as accessibly, palatably hip as Virgin Hotels New York? Here the temptation must have been to go full Mad Men mid-century modern, but thankfully this hotel’s chambers and suites are more up to date than that, warmed by hardwood flooring, live plants, barn door–style room dividers, and vibrant contemporary art. Everdene restaurant, a Virgin signature, occupies the entire third floor, and the Pool Club, on the rooftop, is an unexpected delight.
