Nubeluz

Nubeluz by José Andrés is a sophisticated rooftop bar located atop The Ritz‑Carlton New York, NoMad, offering elevated cocktails and small bites against a dramatic 270° view of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and beyond. The name combines the Spanish words for "cloud" (nube) and "light" (luz), evoking its ethereal ambiance. Designed by Martin Brudnizki and situated in Rafael Viñoly’s hotel tower, the space features mirrored panels, glowing onyx bar surfaces, plush velvet lounge seating in rich shades of blue, pink, and burgundy, and candlelit tabletops that glow alongside the city skyline. Some seating opens onto outdoor terraces complete with oysters and caviar service. The drinks menu offers creative reinterpretations of classic cocktails, crafted by the Andrés beverage team. Small plates and light bites—such as jamón and queso boards curated with Mediterranean inspiration—complement the drinking experience. Open for High Tea on weekends (11 AM–3 PM) and evenings Monday–Sunday (typically from 3 PM until 1 AM), with business‑casual to cocktail‑appropriate dress encouraged. Reservations recommended for evening seating; walk‑ins accepted when space allows. Acclaimed for its elegant design, sweeping views, and José Andrés’ culinary flair, Nubeluz is perfect for date nights, sunset cocktails, or upscale gatherings above the city’s hustle.
