Arrival, check-in and documents
Check-in at Arlo NoMad begins after 3:00 PM; the primary guest must present a valid physical photo ID and the payment method used to guarantee the reservation. A $100 incidental/damage deposit is required at arrival and is collected on a credit card.

Room types and what that means for packing
Rooms at Arlo NoMad are compact and efficiently laid out. Room types include Room (Sky), Essential Room, City Room, Room, Corner, Terrace Room and Room (Bunk); if space is a priority, reserve a larger category (Terrace Room or Room (Sky) when available).
Some rooms include outdoor spaces (balconies/terraces); those rooms may not be suitable for very young children, so families should confirm room specifics with the hotel before arrival.
- Bring a small packing cube or soft-sided luggage to make the most of closet/minibar spaces.
- If you need a work surface, check the listing for rooms with desks (many rooms have small desks).
- For families: Room (Bunk) and other bunk options exist — confirm suitability for young children with the hotel.
Seasonal clothing and outerwear
New York has four distinct seasons. Spring (March–May) and fall (September–early November) are mild — layers, a light jacket, and comfortable walking shoes are best. Summer is hot and humid; pack breathable clothing and a light rain layer.
Winter brings cold temperatures and potential snow; bring a warm coat, hat, gloves and boots if you’ll be outside for extended sightseeing. If you plan rooftop visits, remember a warm layer even in shoulder seasons — rooftop service is seasonal and weather permitting.
- Spring/Fall: light jacket, long-sleeve shirts, comfortable sneakers
- Summer: shorts, breathable shirts, sun protection, light rain jacket
- Winter: insulated coat, warm boots, hat and gloves
- Rooftop visits: pack a warm sweater—rooftop access is weather dependent
Toiletries, tech and in-room needs
Arlo NoMad provides in-room high-speed Wi-Fi at no extra charge. Bring your phone and laptop chargers, a compact power strip or USB adapter if you have multiple devices, and headphones for in-room work or entertainment.
The hotel does not have an on-site spa; bring personal toiletries you prefer, though basic toiletries may be provided. If you require specific grooming tools or specialty items, pack them as they may not be available at the on-site market.
- Phone, laptop/tablet + chargers and a portable battery
- Plug adapter or compact power strip (rooms are compact)
- Personal toiletries, medications, and any specialty items
Dining, snacks and rooftop/bar visits
Arlo NoMad has NoMad Diner (all-day American comfort food) and a 24-hour Bodega market for coffee, pastries, sandwiches and snacks. NoMad Diner hours vary by day; the rooftop bar (ART NoMad / Arlo Rooftop) is seasonal and weather permitting and typically opens from 4:00 PM with posted evening hours.
Reservations are recommended for the rooftop when it’s open. If you plan to dine on-site, bring a credit card and be aware that rates do not include meals — this property is not all-inclusive.
- NoMad Diner serves breakfast, lunch and dinner; check posted daily hours before planning meals.
- Bodega is open 24 hours for grab-and-go items and limited barista service in the morning.
- Rooftop (ART NoMad) is seasonal — check availability and make reservations if required.
Family travel and pets
Arlo NoMad is family friendly but the primary guest on a reservation must be at least 21 and any guest under 21 must be accompanied by an adult 21+ at check-in. Rooms with outdoor terraces or balconies may not be suitable for very young children; confirm room details with the hotel before booking.
The hotel permits up to two dogs or cats per room (each under 75 lbs) for a fee; pets must be registered at the front desk on arrival, accompanied by an adult at all times, and may not be left unattended in rooms.
- Bring child-safe travel items if your room has a terrace or balcony.
- For pets: vaccination records or any required documentation are helpful; register pets at the front desk.
- Consider packing a collapsible pet bed or familiar blanket since pets may not be left alone in rooms.
