A business travel hotel in NoMad
Life Hotel New York is at 19 West 31st Street, in NoMad. For a business trip, the advantage is rail and walking: Penn Station and Moynihan Train Hall are a short walk south, and most of Midtown, the Empire State Building and Koreatown are within a few blocks.
Arriving without a taxi
If your trip starts with a train, you can walk from your platform to the lobby in roughly ten minutes. That alone changes a one-night stay: no car, no tunnel traffic, no guessing at the evening rush. The same logic applies on the way out when you would rather not gamble on traffic before a departure.
Rooms that work for a working trip
The hotel has rooms and studios, plus accessible rooms. The rooms and suites are the straightforward choice for one or two nights; the studios give you more space if you are staying through the week and need to work in the room rather than in a lobby.
Meeting space in the building
There are spaces for meetings and small gatherings on site, with the layouts and capacities set out on the meetings page. If you need to hold a room plus sleeping rooms, the team can quote it together through the RFP form.
Dinner without leaving the hotel
This is where Life earns its place on a work trip. Zoi Mediterranean handles a client dinner, Zoi Lobby Bar is the right room for a drink that does not need to become a whole evening, and TEN 11 Lounge covers the later end of the night.
What is nearby
NoMad is quieter than Times Square and better placed for the Empire State Building, Koreatown on 32nd Street and the Flatiron district. If you are deciding between neighbourhoods, our guide to where to stay in NoMad is blunt about what is walkable.
Who this suits
It suits anyone arriving by train, working in Midtown South or Flatiron, or combining a work trip with a weekend. It suits less well if every meeting is in Midtown East near Grand Central, where you would be crossing town twice a day.
Booking a working stay
Check current offers before booking, tell the team about early arrivals or late check-outs when you reserve, and use the contact page for anything that needs a person.
