![]() Listening to Talde describe the menu was so stimulating that we get the sense it will become another must-visit pizza and pasta destination in the city.Ĭhoosing a hotel comes down to personal preference. For instance, with Koreatown one block away, certain Korean spices will factor in. They group is calling it a new “inauthentic Italian restaurant.” Talde furthers this by referring to it as “Italian-ish.” This means that there’s more than an American cuisine impact on it, but the idea of what’s at arm’s length ingredient wise. It’s spearheaded by Dale Talde (of Talde restaurant fame, who is also doing the snacks at the roof bar), as well as David Massoni and John Bush. Perhaps the most exciting food addition, however, will be the restaurant Massoni. And perhaps most fascinating of all, the large lobby contains an area known as the Bodega, where guests (or locals) can grab all sorts of NYC-centric food and drink items. It’s very Hitchcock’s Read Window, but happily so. There’s a second floor bar and adjoining terrace, both with an authentic city energy-the terrace is surrounded by the exposed brick of buildings on either side, and fire escapes. There is, of course, the rooftop bar known as “The Heights” which features neighborhood-inspired cocktails and 360 degree views of the city. Rather than stuff the room with everything else, the hotel makes strong use of its additional public spaces. This is a room primarily designed around the idea of a good night’s sleep and a sunny wake-up. The bathroom remains basic, but the rain shower head and The Blind Barber products certainly demonstrate attention to detail. Dual clocks, set into the wall beside the bed, allow guests to set one to home time. In lieu of closets, there are hooks and stow spaces. There’s storage space underneath each bed. From the bed, especially in corner rooms, it feels as if one is floating on cloud in the sky, with views that feel startlingly close. They are petite, but brightly lit thanks to the sheer amount of glass-with inlaid working windows. And like the others we’ve mentioned, it’s got pretty interesting food and drink options.įirst, however, it’s necessary to touch upon the rooms. And while this thriving ecosystem of refined hospitality has much to offer, there’s nothing quite like the Arlo. Rather, it’s lush with offerings-including the Nomad Hotel’s award-winning bar and the recently opened Rebury’s luxuriant pizza-driven restaurant Marta. It’s no longer void of acceptable accommodation. What began over seven years ago with the Ace and now extends east to the Marmara Park Avenue is a telltale community surrounding the Nomad neighborhood’s considered development and burgeoning allure. This is the second Arlo Hotel in NYC (the Arlo Hudson Square opened this September) but it’s just a 250-key property and inside all that glass there are plenty of other notable amenities. ![]() And yes, the term micro-hotel makes clear these are not massive rooms-better suited for queen beds than kings-but from design to service, the impact of size isn’t as noticeable as you’d think. This material connects those inside of the hotel to the city outside with such vibrancy and openness that even the smallest rooms feel like they’re extending out toward nearby skyscrapers. ![]() It may be vertigo-inducing for some, but it’s more than an uncommon design flourish it’s actually a telling indicator of the importance of glass throughout the micro-hotel. It isn’t until guests step out on the spacious 31st floor outdoor bar that it becomes evident this is a small, transparent floor. When glancing skyward from the base of the brand new Arlo Hotel Nomad, one notices an overhang composed of glass.
