Best room for skyline views — Room (Sky)
If your priority is a clear city view, Room (Sky) places beds next to large windows and corner sightlines toward Midtown and the Empire State Building. The hotel highlights its rooftop views from the 31st floor; Room (Sky) gives you a private dose of that skyline from inside your room.
Rooms of this type typically include a king or queen bed option, modern wood headboards, and an in-room bathroom with walk-in shower. Expect compact, efficiently designed layouts with included high-speed Wi‑Fi and the hotel’s standard micro-hotel footprint.
- Best for skyline photos and evening lights
- Bed options: 1 King Bed or 1 Queen Bed (per hotel room types listing)
- Modern, compact layout with in-room shower and vanity
| Feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Large city-facing windows | Direct views of Midtown and the Empire State Building |
| King or Queen bed options | Flexible for solo travelers or couples |
| Included Wi‑Fi | Works for remote work or streaming |
Best room with private outdoor space — Terrace Room
Choose Terrace Room when you want an outdoor seating area attached to your room. The hotel lists Terrace Room as a room type with a private terrace or balcony; photos and property details show rooms that open to small outdoor lounges with seating.
Terrace Room is practical for smokers (where local rules allow on the terrace), for airing out luggage, or for a morning coffee with partial sightlines to neighboring building facades. Note that outdoor spaces may not be suitable for young children; the hotel advises families to confirm specific room suitability before booking.
- Direct access to a private terrace or balcony
- Good for fresh air, coffee, or evening drinks
- Hotel advises contacting property if traveling with young children
| What you get | Who should book |
|---|---|
| Private terrace seating | Couples or solo travelers who want outdoor space |
| Standard micro-hotel room amenities | Travelers who value a small outdoor extension |
| Potentially limited child safety | Families should confirm suitability with the hotel |
Best for groups or families needing separate beds — Room (Bunk)
Room (Bunk) contains two twin beds stacked as bunks, making it the practical choice for families with children or friends traveling together who want separate sleeping spaces. The hotel lists a specific bunk-room configuration among its seven room types.
Bunk rooms preserve floor space with built-in desks or shelving and often keep the same compact bathroom layout the property uses across room types. Note the property’s family policy: the primary guest must be 21 or older and any guest under 21 must be accompanied by an adult at check-in.
- Two Twin Beds (stacked bunks) — good for kids or friends
- Compact footprint with desk or shelving
- Confirm bunk safety and terrace access if traveling with very young children
| Feature | Practical note |
|---|---|
| Stacked twin beds | Saves floor space, sleeps two separately |
| Desk and shelving | Works for homework or device charging |
| Hotel family check-in rules | Primary guest must be 21+; under‑21 guests need adult accompaniment |
Best compact picks — Essential Room and City Room
For travelers who want the lowest-possible footprint while retaining Arlo NoMad’s design and included Wi‑Fi, the Essential Room and City Room are the typical budget-minded options. Both keep to the hotel’s compact, modern style with efficient storage and a glass-enclosed bathroom in some layouts.
Essential Room is offered in king or queen bed options; City Room typically comes with a queen bed and a city-facing window. Either choice suits solo travelers or business visitors who plan to spend most of their time outside the room.
- Essential Room: 1 King Bed or 1 Queen Bed — best for single travelers or couples
- City Room: 1 Queen Bed with city window — a step up if you want a clearer view
- Both include high-speed in-room Wi‑Fi and the hotel’s compact bathroom design
| Room | Bed type |
|---|---|
| Essential Room | 1 King Bed or 1 Queen Bed |
| City Room | 1 Queen Bed |
| Best for | Budget-conscious solo travelers or short business stays |
Best corner option — Room, Corner
Room, Corner is the room type to request if you want an angled layout and extra window exposure without booking a Room (Sky). Corner rooms typically put the bed near two walls of windows, offering more natural light and wider sightlines of Midtown facades.
These rooms still reflect Arlo NoMad’s compact, efficient design and include standard hotel amenities such as in-room Wi‑Fi and the usual micro-hotel bathroom. If views are important but a full Room (Sky) isn’t available, a corner room is the next-best pick.
- 1 Queen Bed (as listed) in a corner layout
- More window exposure and natural light
- Good compromise between view and price
| Why choose it | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Extra window exposure | Photographers or light-sensitive sleepers |
| Corner layout | Feeling of more space and better sightlines |
| Usually similar price class to City Room | Budget-conscious travelers wanting better light |
