The Nora Hotel Opens in West Palm Beach with Interiors by Gachot and Art by The Madison Melle Agency
The Nora Hotel has officially opened its doors at 1135 North Railroad Avenue in West Palm Beach, Florida. This marks the inaugural hotel outside of New York for industry veterans Sean MacPherson, Richard Born, and Ira Drukier. Designed by Gachot, the hotel reflects early 20th-century Palm Beach style, steering clear of typical South Florida aesthetics. Featuring 201 rooms, including 14 suites with Juliette balconies and select artwork, amenities include a bistro by James Beard Award-winning chef Stephen Starr, a lobby bar, and a rooftop space named Lillys. Additionally, Florida's first Sisley Spa is part of the offering, capitalizing on increased interest from Northeastern transplants since 2020.
