The Fifth Avenue Hotel: Maximalist Glamour in NoMad

The Fifth Avenue Hotel has quickly become one of New York's most photographed hotels, a riot of pattern, colour and maximalist glamour by designer Martin Brudnizki that unites an 1862 mansion with a discreet new tower at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 28th Street in the NoMad district. It is joyful, theatrical and unmistakably New York.

The dining matches the drama. Café Carmellini is the signature restaurant of James Beard Award-winning chef Andrew Carmellini, a sophisticated marriage of Italian and French cooking with a classic New York sensibility; and the wood-paneled Portrait Bar, led by Darryl Chan, pours sophisticated cocktails by a carved stone fireplace.

For a glamorous, design-led New York stay, The Fifth Avenue Hotel is a standout.
