Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first heard about The Fifth Avenue Hotel sitting on 28th Street, I was a bit confused by the name since it’s actually not on Fifth Avenue at all. But you know what? After staying there, I get it. This five-star place has that classic Fifth Avenue elegance, just tucked away in NoMad where you can actually breathe a little.

The location is actually brilliant once you figure out the neighborhood. NoMad (that’s North of Madison Square Park, if you’re wondering) has become this sweet spot that’s way more livable than Midtown but still puts you right in the thick of things. I mean, you’re a quick walk to Madison Square Garden, the Flatiron Building is right there, and honestly, some of the best restaurants in New York have quietly set up shop in this area. The hotel itself feels like it belongs – there’s this understated luxury thing going on that doesn’t scream “tourist trap” like some of the flashier places uptown. The building has character, you know? Not one of those glass towers that could be anywhere in the world.

What really got me was how they’ve managed to create this bubble of calm without making you feel disconnected. The rooms are genuinely quiet – and I’m someone who usually travels with earplugs because city hotels can be brutal. The staff actually knows the neighborhood, too, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how rare that is. When I asked about late-night food options, the concierge didn’t just hand me a generic list but told me about this little Korean place around the corner that stays open until 2 AM. The check-in was smooth (I arrived early and they had my room ready, which never happens to me), and the whole vibe is just… sophisticated without being stuffy. I stayed during restaurant week in January, and the hotel felt busy but not chaotic – there’s something to be said for a place that can handle being full without falling apart. The only tiny thing that bugged me was the elevator situation during peak hours, but honestly, that’s pretty much every hotel in Manhattan. If you’re looking for that classic New York hotel experience but want to avoid the Times Square madness, this spot really delivers.

To book a hotel in New York during major events like Fashion Week, travelers need early planning as this vibrant city draws visitors eager to experience its dynamic energy and world-famous skyline.

Wonderful

Fantastic hotel with everything done to a high level

What could be improved: Zero noise from the streets, but the room doors let in a lot of noise and the staff were particularly noisy early in the morning.
