the NoMad London, set in this venerable Covent Garden landmark, should pay tribute to the patron saint of dandies with vibrant, romantic, bohemian interiors
“Bedrooms, epitomised by the Royal Opera Suite, blend oriental rugs, claw-footed baths and Victoriana plushness with contemporary elements, embodying that New York Jazz Age charm”
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Standing on Bow Street opposite the Royal Opera House, you are steps from the Covent Garden piazza and historic West End stages.
The rooms
Bedrooms pair hardwood floors and mosaic-tiled bathrooms with clawfoot tubs, while split-level suites look directly across at the opera house.
Gym and treatment rooms
A 24-hour gym with mirrored walls sits alongside private treatment rooms tucked into converted Victorian holding cells.
Dogs stay too.
The NoMad Restaurant
Green banquettes and climbing foliage fill the glass atrium, where seasonal British menus meet New York dining style.
Centre stage is the courtyard restaurant, a three-story glass atrium rising like a Victorian greenhouse, dressed with hanging plants.
At the table
Side Hustle pours agave cocktails in the former police station, and the velvet-lined Library serves drinks beside a stone fireplace.
How it began
Oscar Wilde and Emmeline Pankhurst were tried in this Victorian magistrates court, where original holding cells now house an on-site museum.
“The hotel is a partnership between Sydell Group and investment firm BTC UK. This is the first NoMad outside America, but the second project in London by Sydell Group”
