Rooms
The NoMad London Hotel offers an enchanting blend of timeless elegance and contemporary luxury, and this is vividly reflected in its meticulously designed rooms. Each room is a sanctuary of sophistication, boasting a harmonious fusion of classic British charm and modern amenities.
Upon entering the room, you’ll be greeted by a sense of refined comfort. The decor exudes understated opulence, with plush furnishings, rich textures, and tasteful artwork adorning the walls. The color palette is soothing yet chic, featuring warm neutrals accented by accents of deep blues and greens, creating an inviting ambiance.
The attention to detail is truly remarkable. From the sumptuous linens to the curated selection of books and artworks, every element has been thoughtfully curated to ensure a memorable stay. The spacious layout of the rooms provides ample space for relaxation, with comfortable seating areas where guests can unwind after a day of exploration in the bustling city of London.
Atop the nightstand to the right of the bed was an old-school phone, notepad and pen, and an Oliver Hemming Songbird Bluetooth Speaker.
And you’ll find a catalog with all the information a guest could need regarding room service, restaurant opening times, etc.
The beds are a highlight of the NoMad London experience. Adorned with luxurious linens and plush pillows, they offer a haven of tranquility, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Let’s just say if I could have taken the NoMad’s bed linens home with me, I would have. You will sleep like a baby!
The NoMad London, known for it’s cocktail program, offers a well stocked minibar with everything you need to enjoy a glass of wine or cocktail in the comfort of your room. And for the all-important morning hot beverages, both tea and coffee lovers should be pleased. As coffee snobs, we can confirm the coffee from these biodegradable and compostable pods is great.
The bathrooms are equally impressive, featuring elegant marble finishes, rainfall showers, and luxurious amenities from Argan Oil.
And if you opt for a suite, they have plenty of space including a separate living area and many of them offer fantastic views of the Royal Opera House.
Food & Beverage
NoMad London is definitely a spot for all of you foodies and cocktail enthusiasts. The NoMad London features multiple food and beverage outlets including The Library, Common Decency, Side Hustle and of course the signature The NoMad Restaurant.
If you want a spot to hang out, the library is a cozy yet sophisticated area to the right of reception.
It's a great spot to get some work done and enjoy a late afternoon coffee or snack or a pre-dinner glass of wine.
We continued drinking our way through the NoMad London and our next stop took us to Side Hustle.
Side Hustle is open to both guests and non-guests and has its own street entrance. Order a margarita. Yes, a margarita in London. But they’re fabulous!
And we ended our food & beverage journey with dinner at The NoMad Restaurant.
The NoMad Restaurant is located in the most stunning part of the hotel, the atrium. By day, the restaurant is a bright and airy space that feels like you are in a courtyard. But by night, the space is sexy and transforms into a dimly lit and romantic dining venue.
We were very impressed by the dining experience at The NoMad Restaurant. The atmosphere was great. The food was excellent. And the service was top notch.
Amenities
The NoMad London has a functional gym if you need to get a good workout in during your visit to London. The gym has fresh towers, water and numerous pieces of workout equipment including a cable machine. In addition, there was a weight rack with barbells up to 44 pounds and for all of you who enjoy a good cycle session, the hotel has a Peloton Bike.
And for those of you who like to indulge in full relaxation mode, The NoMad London offers 2 spa treatment rooms. One is run by Ricari Studios and the other by de Mamiel. Treatments are available for both guests and non-guests.
Overall Impression
The NoMad London is a great luxury lifestyle hotel in the heart of Covent Garden. The location can’t be beat. The rooms are very luxurious and comfortable. And the stand-out is definitely the food and beverage outlets. The cocktail program at the various bars within the hotel are world class. We are already planning our return stay later this year! And now that the NoMad London is part of Hilton’s Luxury and Lifestyle portfolio, the hotel is even better since you’ll be able to earn Hilton Honors Points for your stay.
