The Nora Hotel: Design and Pastis in West Palm Beach's Nora District

The Nora Hotel is at the heart of West Palm Beach's buzziest new neighbourhood, a design hotel set in a row of restored early-20th-century railroad warehouses that give the surrounding Nora District its name. Industrial bones, warm mid-century design and a lively street of restaurants and shops make it a fresh counterpoint to the island's old-guard glamour.

The dining draws a crowd. Pastis, the famous Parisian-style bistro brought south by way of Manhattan's Meatpacking District, serves steak frites and signature cocktails at its hallmark curved zinc bar; and an elegant Lobby Bar anchors the hotel as a social hub.

For a design-led West Palm Beach stay, The Nora is a standout.
