The Nora Hotel

West Palm Beach’s New Boutique Destination Coming Fall 2026

In Fall 2026, West Palm Beach will welcome a hospitality game-changer: The Nora Hotel, a 201-key boutique property anchoring the vibrant heart of the NORA District. Developed by BD Hotels with hospitality visionary Sean MacPherson—renowned for The Bowery and The Mercer in NYC—The Nora Hotel will blend timeless elegance with the creative spirit of NORA’s walkable, art-filled neighborhood.

A Once-in-a-Generation Transformation

In Fall 2026, West Palm Beach will experience a transformation unlike anything it has seen before with the debut of The Nora Hotel. Anchoring the heart of the NORA District, this 201-key boutique property will serve as both a hospitality landmark and a cultural gateway to one of the city’s most ambitious neighborhood redevelopments.

Developed by BD Hotels in collaboration with hospitality visionary Sean MacPherson, The Nora Hotel will offer a refined balance of style, comfort, and neighborhood immersion, reflecting the district’s creative energy and design-forward spirit.

Mediterranean Elegance in the Heart of the City

Drawing inspiration from Mediterranean architecture, the hotel will feature sunlit courtyards, warm terracotta tones, and lush landscaping woven seamlessly into NORA’s cobblestone streets and open-air public spaces. Inside, guests will find bright, thoughtfully appointed rooms designed for both leisure and business travelers, each echoing the district’s blend of sophistication and approachability.

Pastis: An Icon Arrives in West Palm Beach

At the heart of the hotel’s offerings will be Pastis, the legendary Parisian-style bistro celebrated in New York for its unmistakable charm, brasserie classics, and timeless appeal. Its West Palm Beach debut marks the first time this icon of NYC dining culture has ventured into South Florida—bringing a distinctly Paris-meets-Palm Beach flavor to the local culinary scene.

Pastis will not only serve hotel guests but also invite the entire community into its warm, bustling dining room, further blurring the line between visitor and local experience.

More Than a Stay — An Immersion

The Nora Hotel is designed to be a seamless extension of the district, with a rooftop pool and bar offering panoramic views, a spa dedicated to wellness and relaxation, and direct access to NORA’s boutique retail, art installations, and vibrant events calendar. Guests will step out of the lobby and directly into a neighborhood alive with culture, creativity, and connection.

Setting a New Standard for Boutique Hospitality

With its Mediterranean elegance, iconic dining partner, and unmatched location, The Nora Hotel will redefine what boutique hospitality means in West Palm Beach. More than a place to sleep, it will be a place to live, gather, and experience the pulse of a city on the rise.
