The NoMad Hotel: What Happened, Where It Is & Where to Stay

The NoMad hotel brand, once a darling of the New York hospitality scene in the 2010s, has fragmented. The original Manhattan property is closed, the Las Vegas outpost has been rebranded, and only its London location carries the name today. This guide tracks what happened to each NoMad property, where the brand’s Michelin pedigree comes from, and how London’s Bow Street location became a celebrity magnet.

What happened to the NoMad hotel?

The NoMad brand launched in 2012 inside a restored Beaux-Arts building at 1170 Broadway, Manhattan—a location north of Madison Square Park that gave the brand its name, as Wallpaper* reported. It was an immediate hit: the ground-floor restaurant earned a Michelin star, and the hotel became a neighbourhood anchor that Condé Nast Traveller later described as having “kickstarted a whole neighbourhood.”

Then came the pandemic. According to the brand’s official Hilton history page, NoMad New York permanently closed in March 2021. The same source confirms that the NoMad Las Vegas property, which operated within Park MGM, was removed from the brand roster and rebranded as The Reserve at Park MGM—effectively retiring the NoMad name in the United States.

The NoMad story began in 2012 in a turn-of-the-century, Beaux Arts building on a scrappy stretch of Broadway just north of Madison Square Park.

The closure of the original property and the Vegas rebrand left the brand in a fragmented state. NoMad London, which opened in 2021 in the former Bow Street Magistrates’ Court and Police Station in Covent Garden, is the only operating hotel that still carries the NoMad name.

What is the NoMad called now?

Today the name “NoMad” survives on only one hotel: NoMad London, which operates under the Hilton umbrella at 28 Bow Street, London, WC2E 7AW. The property is bookable through Hilton’s website and maintains the brand’s distinctive design DNA, with interiors by Roman and Williams that reuse the historic court’s architecture—including a glass-domed restaurant-cum-greenhouse, a bar styled like a British pub, and a ballroom in the original court space, as documented by Dezeen.

The other two hotels have shed the NoMad moniker:

• New York City: permanently closed. The building at 1170 Broadway continues to operate as a different hospitality property (Moxy Hotels) under the Marriott group.

• Las Vegas: now called The Reserve at Park MGM. Still on the Strip, still within the MGM complex, but no longer branded NoMad.

The “Reserve” name shift was not widely announced—travelers who search for the old name are redirected to Park MGM’s website. The brand’s Las Vegas iteration had attracted strong service reviews on TripAdvisor, with multiple guests praising its attentive staff and spacious suites, but the rebrand effectively erased the NoMad identity from the property.

Is NoMad a Michelin star?

Yes—the original NoMad restaurant in New York City held one Michelin star. The claim is verified across Wikipedia and multiple editorial retrospectives. The restaurant, led by chef Daniel Humm (of Eleven Madison Park fame), opened in 2012 and earned its star shortly after—a distinction that helped cement the hotel’s reputation among luxury travellers.

However, that Michelin star was tied to the New York property. Because the hotel closed permanently in 2021, the star is no longer active. According to Michelin’s official guide and editorial restaurant coverage, NoMad London is not currently listed as holding a Michelin star—though its in-house dining concept, run by the hotel’s kitchen in the glass-domed space, has drawn positive reviews on TripAdvisor for its atmosphere.

The Los Angeles outpost, which opened in January 2018 in a 12-story 1923 Bank of Italy building in Downtown LA, was reviewed by Brad A. Johnson as a charming boutique property, but that property also closed—its restaurant did not achieve Michelin recognition before shutting.

Where does Beyonce stay in London?

NoMad London has strong celebrity cachet, but we cannot confirm any specific guest—including Beyoncé—from the available research notes. The hotel’s location in Covent Garden, its historic Bow Street address, and its reputation for discretion (the former magistrates’ court includes private entrances and a secure underground parking area) make it a plausible choice for high-profile guests seeking privacy in central London.

Traveler reviews on TripAdvisor consistently describe the property as “peaceful despite its central location” and “elegant without being ostentatious”—qualities that align with the needs of celebrity travellers who want luxury without paparazzi access. The hotel’s bar and restaurant have become social-media fixtures, and the property’s Instagram feed (user-generated content) shows well-dressed guests but no named celebrities.

It’s worth noting that The Lanesborough, another luxury London hotel we have covered, is also commonly associated with high-profile guests—but NoMad London’s comparative intimacy (91 rooms versus The Lanesborough’s 93) and its distinctly different architectural identity set it apart in the celebrity hotel conversation.
