The 30 Best Hotel Openings of 2021

For NoMad’s foray across the pond, Sydell Group tasked New York firm Roman and Williams Buildings and Interiors with the transformation of the 19th-century Bow Street Magistrates’ Court in Covent Garden into the NoMad London. The two-story Library, a NoMad fixture, is kitted out with velvet and sapele millwork, while another NoMad hallmark, the Atrium, is where guests dine under a glass ceiling amid greenery and moody murals painted by set designers from the Royal Opera House across the street. Meanwhile, marble fireplaces and contemporary artwork give the guestrooms, some of them old jail cells, a pied-à-terre feel. Photo by Benoit Linero
