A handful of hotels are popping up from NYC to LA, bringing the best in design, dining and beyond. There’s something for everyone: art-centric spaces, posh hospitality heavyweights, new locations of old favorites, and so on.
Read on to find out which NYC neighborhood is attracting all the openings, plus what to look forward to on the West Coast. 
MADE Hotel
Hospitality entrepreneur Sam Gelin steps onto the hotel scene with MADE. Gelin’s debut hotel property opened on September 5th, welcoming guests into the 18-story space. The NoMad hotel was designed to be something of a retreat for both guests and visitors alike; a place that can be enjoyed from morning to night. As such, MADE is already staking its claim as visitors’ go-to workspace, coffee shop, restaurant and cocktail spot. Stop by before it’s too cold to enjoy the rooftop.
Freehand New York
With outposts in Miami, Chicago and LA, Freehand finally makes its way to NYC. The hotel is set to open its doors in the former George Washington Hotel early next year. Restaurateur Gabriel Stulman will helm the restaurant and lobby bar, adding Freehand to Happy Cooking Hospitality’s list of hot spots like Joseph Leonard and Bar Sardine. Don’t fret--Bar Lab’s Gabriel Orta and Elad Zvi will bring fan-favorite bar Broken Shaker, too. Freehand wouldn’t be complete without an art element; The Freehand Fellowship will offer select artists a place to live, work and exhibit their work. 
James New York, NoMad
A Soho favorite, James New York will takes up a second residence in NoMad. The luxury boutique hotel channels the buzzing neighborhood with its modern design. Its meeting and event spaces will undoubtedly be a hit with the surrounding work crowd. As for food and beverage, a partnership with LDV Hospitality will bring Scarpetta, plus a new cocktail bar, to the space this fall.
Mondrian Park Avenue
NoMad is definitely growing by the day, with the Mondrian Park Avenue solidifying its status as the neighborhood to watch. The posh hotel takes a cue from the NYC energy with eclectic yet sophisticated designs and, of course, a rooftop lounge. Chef Danny Elmaleh brings Mediterranean concept Cleo to the brand new space.
NoMAD Los Angeles
NY transplant NoMAD is heading west. NoMAD Los Angeles will be housed in the historic Giannini Building, complete with the marble floors and and golden ceilings it was designed with in 1923. The 241-room hotel will also feature a meeting and event space as well as a rooftop pool with panoramic city views.
