Savorigne Seville

Situated in the heart of New York City’s dynamic NoMad neighborhood, Hotel Seville NoMad is a gateway to some of the city’s must-experience cultural, culinary and artistic experiences.

Il Bar is open Tuesday through Saturday from 3:30 PM-10:30 PM for guests to enjoy happy hour, pre-dinner cocktails or a nightcap, serving as a bookend for any New York adventure.
