James New York – NoMad

The James New York – NoMad (formerly the Seville Hotel and Carlton Hotel) is a hotel at 22 East 29th Street, at the southwest corner with Madison Avenue in the NoMad neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. The original 12-story hotel on Madison Avenue was completed in 1904 to designs by Harry Allan Jacobs. The 11-story annex to the west was designed by Charles T. Mott and completed in 1907, while a three-story annex at 88 Madison Avenue to the south was finished in 2004 and designed by the Rockwell Group. The hotel is a New York City designated landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The original portions of the hotel were designed in the Beaux-Arts style. The facade is divided horizontally into three sections and is largely made of brick, terracotta, and limestone above the first story. Each facade is also split vertically into bays, with ornamentation such as balconies and curved metal windows. The hotel's original public rooms, which included a lobby and restaurants, were in the basement and first floor; many of these spaces have since been modified. The modern-day lobby is within the annex at 88 Madison Avenue and leads to restaurant spaces. The upper stories contain 360 guest units, which face either the street or three interior light courts.

The developer Maitland E. Graves began constructing the hotel in 1901 and named it the Seville, but he ran out of money before the hotel was finished. A syndicate that included Louis C. Raegener took over the project in 1903 and opened the Seville Hotel the next year. The Seville was extremely popular among visitors soon after it opened, prompting Raegener to add an annex between 1906 and 1907. Raegener and his company, the Roy Realty Company, continued to operate the Seville until 1946. The Hotel Seville's popularity began to decline in the mid-20th century as businesses and entertainment venues relocated uptown, and it became a single room occupancy hotel in the late 20th century. The Seville was renamed the Carlton in 1987. The Wolfson family bought the hotel in the late 1990s and renovated it extensively in the early 2000s and in 2010s. The GFI Capital Resources Group bought the hotel in 2015 and renovated it again, reopening it as the James NoMad Hotel in 2018.
