Arlo NoMad

About Arlo NoMad

Arlo NoMad suits travelers who want Midtown addresses without staying in the middle of Times Square. The hotel sits on East 31st Street, a block from Fifth Avenue, so mornings start with coffee near Madison Square Park and evenings end a few blocks from the theater district. Couples get a base for a long weekend; business travelers get a Midtown South address within walking distance of Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal. Late arrivals find a 24 hour front desk.

Treat that score as a summary of past guests' impressions rather than a promise about your own room. The stay is urban and central: a Midtown South building with a restaurant, bars, a terrace and free Wi-Fi among its listed facilities, aimed at travelers who plan to spend the day out in Manhattan and use the hotel as a base.

The setting

Arlo NoMad stands at 11 East 31st Street, in Midtown South between the Flatiron district and Union Square. The address puts you south of the Empire State Building, on the grid laid out in 1811, with Fifth Avenue a block west for east and west street numbering. Penn Station is about 0.6 miles (0.9 km) in a straight line and Grand Central Terminal about 0.6 miles (1 km); Times Square is about 0.8 miles (1.3 km). Central Park, at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, is about 1.4 miles (2.3 km) north.

The nearest airport in a straight line is LaGuardia, about 6.2 miles (10 km) away, while JFK is about 13 miles (21 km) and Newark Liberty about 11 miles (17.2 km). Broadway and the Theater District are about 0.9 miles (1.4 km) from the door, the High Line and Hudson Yards about 1.1 miles (1.7 km), and the 9/11 Memorial about 2.8 miles (4.5 km) south. The streets here are numbered and regular, so a paper map or a phone map is enough to keep your bearings on foot.

Location and neighborhood

Midtown South, Flatiron and Union Square suit a short work trip because the day's meetings often sit within walking reach. The area runs from Union Square north to the blocks around Penn Station, taking in the Flatiron Building, Madison Square Park, NoMad, Koreatown and the hotel streets of Midtown South. Numbered streets run east and west, avenues run north and south, and Fifth Avenue divides east from west addresses. Broadway cuts across the grid on a diagonal, so check the cross street before setting out. Arlo NoMad gives a central point for that pattern, with Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station both part of the same working district.

Use the street grid to plan a business day. Morning meetings in Flatiron or NoMad can sit close together, and Union Square is a useful marker for the southern edge of Midtown. Koreatown adds evening choice after late sessions, while Madison Square Park offers a bench and a pause between appointments. The High Line and Hudson River Park lie west of the area, and the Theater District sits north around Times Square. Arlo NoMad works as a reference point when you arrange the day by cross street, not by landmark alone.

Getting there and around

Getting there starts with the airports. JFK and Newark sit beyond Queens and New Jersey, with rail and bus links into Manhattan; LaGuardia is closest by road and connects to the subway by bus. Check current service and traffic with the airport operators and the MTA before you travel. From Arlo NoMad, the airports are around 13 miles (21 km) by road, and Penn Station is around 0.6 miles (1 km) away. The subway runs 24 hours, and contactless tap to pay works at the turnstiles. For local trips, walking usually beats a short car trip in this grid, but check weather and street closures.

Nearby sights and food

Between meetings, the area keeps several sights close. Madison Square Park and the Flatiron Building anchor the center, and Union Square gives a clear meeting point on the southern edge. The High Line and Hudson River Park are west, with Hudson Yards and the Vessel beyond the rail yards. Grand Central Terminal is north and east, while Little Island sits at the Hudson River edge downtown. Broadway and the Theater District lie north around Times Square, where evening curtains are typically at 7 or 8 pm; check the show schedule. Most of these are a short walk or a few subway stops from the hotel streets around Arlo NoMad.

Food in the area covers fast weekday lunches and slower evening meals. Koreatown has Korean restaurants and late kitchens; Flatiron and NoMad add sandwich shops, salad counters, coffee bars and casual pasta or pizza places. Union Square draws a mix of bakeries, delis and sit-down rooms for client dinners. For a short work trip, reserve a table when a meal matters and keep a counter or market hall as the flexible option. Check opening days with each venue around public holidays, since some kitchens close early on weekends.

A day from Arlo NoMad

A day from Arlo NoMad can stay compact. Start with a walk through Madison Square Park and a look at the Flatiron Building, then follow Fifth Avenue or Broadway to the first meeting. Break at Union Square for coffee or a quick lunch, then take the subway north to Grand Central Terminal for an afternoon appointment. If the calendar clears, walk west to the High Line near sunset and continue to Hudson River Park. End with an early dinner in Koreatown or NoMad, or head to the Theater District for an evening curtain; check the show time and subway service with the MTA before setting out.
