MADE Hotel is a standout boutique property located in the heart of the NoMad neighborhood. Designed by Studio MAI, the hotel aims to offer a “humble” and authentic perspective on New York City, steering away from the typical glitzy hotel aesthetic in favor of something that feels more like a creative, lived-in loft.
The architecture and interiors are defined by an industrial, minimalist approach. You’ll notice raw, unfinished surfaces, reclaimed walnut flooring, and Japanese-style ceramic tiles. It’s an intentional design choice meant to provide a warm, tactile environment that feels genuinely “real” rather than staged. Instead of traditional luxury, the hotel focuses on curated experiences and thoughtful, understated details.
Social life is central to the hotel’s personality. The lobby is a multi-purpose hub that functions as a coffee shop and bar, while the rooftop venue, Good Behavior, provides excellent panoramic views of the city skyline. For dining, the ground-floor restaurant, Debajo, serves vibrant, seasonal Spanish-inspired fare in a relaxed setting.
Location-wise, it’s exceptionally convenient for city explorers. You are within walking distance of iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building and the famous Macy’s department store at Herald Square. The Museum of Sex and the lush green space of Madison Square Park are also just a stone’s throw away, making it a perfect starting point for soaking in the energy of Manhattan.
Expert reviews
“This hotel is totally worth the money and is a great deal for a Manhattan hotel. The rooms are high-end in all the right ways (great amenities, quality, linens, and covetable bathroom fixtures) but not at all over-the-top.”
“Entrepreneur Sam Gelin’s first hotel project dresses up this sliver of NoMad. Despite a few design quirks, the modern, earthy interiors, attentive service, and on-site restaurant – steered by one of New York’s brightest culinary talents – nudge MADE into a brand-new category of luxury.”

Warm, cozy, chic and conveniently located near major transit hubs.
We loved the boho chic vibe. It was very clean, inviting, warm, and cozy. The early check-in option and free delicious coffee were huge perks. The room, view, bed, and bathroom all were very nice.
Totally fine for a quick trip but still would have liked a convenient suitcase surface or stand. We had our things on the floor and one bench/chair. Obviously it’s a small room like all NYC hotels but maybe there’s a creative way to address this common complaint. I still liked this hotel enough to come back so it’s not a dealbreaker.

An awesome hidden gem in the Big Apple!!
Absolutely outstanding hotel!! This place is a hidden gem and was a joy to discover. It is close to two subway lines, has lots of restaurants, a coffee shop, and shopping within walking distance. The rooms are lovely, with comfortable beds and really cool lighting. Bonus: getting free coffee from the cafe in the lobby every morning! The staff were friendly and helpful, and we had an outstanding stay here!!
There was nothing we didn't like about this hotel. It was a great place to stay at and we look forward to staying there again the next time we travel to NY!

Overall great comfortable hotel would recommend great design and amenities
Really comfy bed and good size rooms clean with daily housekeeping
Plumber/ boiler issue meant there was a problem with the toilet and we had to miss one of our dinner reservations to check it was fixed

Home away from home
It felt like coming home again. This is such a great hotel at a perfect location. Nicely decorated rooms and a cosy lounge to hangout in. Breakfast in the restaurant downstairs was also great!

Great location, great hotel - nothing to complain about!
A really great option for midtown stays. Room is small but absolutely fine for New York, great shower and was cleaned well everyday. No real noise - a bit from the elevator but to be expected in a busy city.
The free coffee bar was always very busy but there is a fab cafe - Stumptown - a few doors down in the Ace that opens at 6.30am so a good option for early birds

Housekeeping could have used a little push.

Loved the room and hotel and staff, would definitely stay there again.
It was a very creative and the aesthetics were very pleasing.
Storage was very small, we had to hang clothes and there was very little space and covered the TV

Recommend highly. Loved our stay.
Staff in particular were extremely friendly and helpful. Location was great too easy to get everywhere either by foot or rail. Coffee was incredible they offer filter coffee as a part of your stay however I had one cortado then remained with that the rest of my trip!
Nothing was fantastic.

Cozy Room and great location!
The room is a typical NYC-sized hotel room, except the bathroom was a little bigger than others. Overall, the room is very comfortable, the bed and the space were cozy.
I don't have any complaints.

Modern, clean and free hot chocolate but The tea and coffee station need some form of fresh hot water the jugs give you
Modern, clean and free hot chocolate
The tea and coffee station need some form of fresh hot water the jugs give you lukewarm water. Compared to london it’s expensive for what you get

Great location, great staff.
The general feeling of the hotel was great, staff particularly helpful and efficient.
The only issue with the room was a lack of storage space.

Wonderful all round but stop students taking over the lounge
Really nice boutique hotel, lovely rooms and great staff in a great location.
After long days exploring the city, we often wanted to come back to enjoy the hotel lounge for a coffee but it was always filled with students and within the full week we didn’t ever find a spare chair. Such a shame not to allow hotel guest to enjoy this space.

Great stay in NYC
The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms were nicely appointed although on the small side which we knew. The room was bright and had a big window with a good view. They also offered wine during happy hour and coffee all day. The property also had two cocktail bars, a restaurant and a coffee shop.

Cool spot in the centre of New York
Location was great, next to so many subway stations.
Cool bar and coffee shop downstairs and lovely toiletries in the bathroom.
Housekeeping of the rooms always happened very late on in the day.

Zen in a beautiful and convenient neighborhood of NYC
The room felt like I was at a resort. Not in the middle of New York City. We loved the platform bed. It was extremely comfortable. The room was so quiet, given the few rooms on each floor and the thick walls and cement ceiling.
The perfumed body wash, unfortunately, caused me to break out in hives. The designed of the shower needs to be fixed. The rain shower can be adjusted and every time the water traveled on the tiled lip and flooded the bathroom.

Short stay near to Penn Station
Good location near to Penn Station with nice cafe & bars on site
Rooms were very small - we have stayed in NY before but never had to climb over each other to get into bed. Bathroom was ok but mirror not above sink making it difficult to shave etc. staff were polite rather than friendly

Great location and fabulous boutique hotel.
We loved our stay! The hotel is beautiful, well-situated in Manhattan and I love that there aren’t carpets in the rooms. The bed was comfortable - not too soft or too firm. The staff were wonderful and the rooftop bar was lovely.
We loved everything!

Al in all it was great!
The location of this hotel was pretty perfect. We could walk around the block to get on the subway. It was super cute with a great aesthetic.
The rooms were really small for what we paid. And it was all in all very dark. Older people with vision problems may want to stay elsewhere.

Made Hotel is a must while in NYC
I love everything aspect of it. From the minute I walked in I was greet by Alex at the front desk with a smile and very attentive while I shared we wanted to leave our luggage before checking in. Alex, proactively checked us in early and we started to have a great conversation regarding their facilities, restaurants, cafes and more. Kara and Naermah were the nicest one when we were checking out. Engaging in our next trip conversation and sharing great places to visit.

Another lovely experience at Made
We had a super return visit to Made - after a family visit from Ireland last year. The staff were excellent, so friendly and kind. Nothing was an issue and all members of staff we met around the hotel were so helpful. We were thrilled to receive a room upgrade & bottle of bubbles as return guests. We look forward to coming back soon!
