This week The James New York – NoMad celebrates being fully open with the opening of Scarpetta's new flagship location in NoMad, following 10 years on 14th street, and the introduction of The Seville social cocktail lounge. The fully renovated property boasts 360 guest rooms, including 28 suites, 2 penthouses and 5,000 square feet of meeting spaces designed by Thomas Juul-Hansen.
The opening of The James is a key development in the renaissance of the NoMad neighborhood, joining the company of prestigious hotels in the area. The Hotel's developer GFI Development Company, has played a key role in the rebirth of the area. GFI Development, with CEO Allen Gross leading the charge, took on the development of the Ace Hotel New York in 2006, the first boutique hotel to open in the neighborhood.GFI and Allen Gross also developed The NoMad and now The James as the next hallmark in the renaissance of the NoMad area.
With a nod to the rich history of the neighborhood as the birthplace of the iconic "Manhattan" cocktail and the stunning beaux-arts style building that originally opened as the historic landmarked "Hotel Seville" in 1904, The Seville cocktail lounge is a new concept by LDV Hospitality finding a perfect home at The James New York – NoMad. An evolution of the prohibition-themed speakeasy suite in the former hotel, The Seville is a fully realized social cocktail lounge curated to serve as an intimate, stylish hideaway in the traditions of prohibition-era NoMad, which was home to many famed speakeasies. The Seville's tucked away, underground space will offer a curated music program and classic cocktails with a twist.
Scarpetta's move to the NoMad area sees the signature restaurant concept that first launched in New York'sMeatpacking District evolve in the beautifully designed space with exciting enhancements including an expansive bar and café as well as an expanded menu of seasonal, gourmet Italian fare.
Speaking on the opening, LDV Hospitality founder John Meadow stated, "We could not be more excited and grateful for our newest hotel partnership to be with GFI, Denihan Hospitality, and Thomas Juul-Hansen. I am thrilled to reimagine our flagship Scarpetta location while bringing to life this iconic hotel with the James New York - NoMad."
With the introduction of these exciting venues The James New York - NoMad offers guests the perfect balance of sanctuary and scene; they can treat themselves to Italian cuisine at Scarpetta, indulge in delicious craft cocktails at The Seville and then retreat to the urban sanctuaries of their hotel rooms where they can unwind with in-room Kundalini yoga by Guru Jagat, calm their minds with meditation by Inscape, or sip on a juice or smoothie through the new in-room dining offerings.
