Sonder at The Nash Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Sonder at The Nash, you immediately get that sleek, modern apartment vibe rather than traditional hotel stuffiness. The lobby feels more like an upscale residential building — which honestly works perfectly in Murray Hill, where you want to feel like a temporary New Yorker rather than just another tourist. The whole setup is refreshingly straightforward, with clean lines and that minimalist aesthetic that actually makes sense when you’re trying to navigate the city without unnecessary complications.

Location & Neighborhood

This four-star spot sits right in the heart of Murray Hill on East 39th Street, and I mean this in the best way — you’re perfectly positioned without being in the chaos. You can walk to Grand Central in about ten minutes, which means easy airport connections and subway access to basically everywhere. The neighborhood itself has this great mix of local delis, decent restaurants, and actual New Yorkers going about their business. Couples particularly seem to love it here, and I get why — there’s something romantic about having your own little apartment-style space in the middle of Manhattan without the Times Square madness.

The Room Experience

The rooms feel more like well-designed studio apartments than hotel rooms, complete with kitchenettes that actually work. You know what I really appreciated? The space doesn’t try to cram too much in — there’s room to spread out your stuff, which is rare in Manhattan. The beds are comfortable without being overly fancy, and the bathrooms are modern with good water pressure (trust me, this matters after a long day of walking around the city). Everything feels thoughtfully designed rather than just thrown together.

Practical Perks

Having that little kitchen setup changes everything — you can grab groceries from the nearby markets and actually save some money on meals, or just make coffee without paying hotel prices. The tech integration works smoothly too, with keyless entry that doesn’t make you fumble around with cards. Recent guests consistently rave about the location, and honestly, they’re not wrong. You’re close enough to Midtown attractions but far enough from the tourist crowds that you can actually breathe. The building itself runs quietly, which is something of a miracle in this part of the city.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets Sonder at The Nash apart is how it lets you live in New York rather than just visit it. The apartment-style setup means you can settle in properly, whether you’re here for a long weekend or an extended stay. The Murray Hill location gives you that authentic neighborhood feel while keeping you connected to everything — you can walk to the Empire State Building, hop on the subway to Brooklyn, or just explore the local scene. It’s the kind of place where you actually want to come back at the end of the day, rather than just crash before heading out again.

Best hotels in New York blend rooftop terraces, chef-driven tasting menus, and skyline spa sanctuaries.

Reviews of Sonder at The Nash

  • Mille from Denmark (8/10)

    I am very satisfied with having stayed two weeks at Sonder at the Nash. The hotel appartment was spacious, clean, cozy and convenient as it is placed in walking distance to the UN and nearly anywhere in midtown Manhattan. The appartment looked like the pictures and had a very Nordic feel to it. The building has a 24/7 doorman and feels very safe like the surrounding neighborhood. The Sonder staff would reply within a minute on the Sonder chat function and accommodate any wishes I had (incl. new batteries to the remote controle, late check out etc.). It was very easy to check in and out and to use the access code for the door. The appartment and the kitchen was well equipped, and the bed was huge and comfortable.

  • Tucker from United States (8/10)

    Clean room. Nice location and a great space

  • Gabriella from Malta (7/10)

    The staff are very helpful and the location is good (most of the attractions were within walking distance, and close to grand central station for other locations. The app was also very useful to ask questions or for guidance and connivence.

  • Amy from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Amazing location and price. Lots of space for 4 adults and great to have the kitchen

  • Dechiaroma from Brazil (9/10)

  • Laura from Austria (9/10)

    perfect position. close to grand central station and some of the main museums (MoMA) and main buildings (Flatiron for example is only 15 mins away by foot). the flat reflects the pictures and the staff at the reception is very helpful. also the app and the support from remote is friendly and effective.

  • Alvaro from Peru (8/10)

    Location because it is close to gran central terminal and that is has everything you need within the facilities.
    Staff answers very quickly through the Sonder App, really helpful.

  • Madeline from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Great location and easy access to local sights. Clean room and good facilities.

  • Emma from United Kingdom (7/10)

    It was a good location & relatively quiet. It had the majority of facilities you’d need, inc kettle & coffee machine (inc a few teabags & coffees to get you going). All the kitchen equipment was in good working order & all the linen & towels were lovely fresh & clean.
