Here it is: NoMad LA, Downtown Los Angeles’s most anticipated new restaurant project in years. From soaring lobby ceilings to mezzanine fine dining from two of the world’s biggest culinary names, here is the first-ever full interior look inside at the sprawling hotel and dining property in the heart of DTLA, opening January 21.

First up, a bit about the property. This is the former Bank of Italy building at Giannini Place, hugging the corner of Olive and Seventh. It’s a full hotel build-out by the Sydell Group (The Line, Freehand) encompassing several dining and drinking areas, a rooftop pool, and 241 lavishly appointed hotel rooms. That means lobby drinking and daytime fare, a separate coffee bar with street-level access, plus refined dining from chef Daniel Humm and front-of-house partner Will Guidara upstairs.

Of all the various eating and drinking points within the 1920s-era building, the one undoubtedly getting the most attention will be the Mezzanine. That’s where executive chef Chris Flint will be executing Humm and Guidara’s vision, including the famed black truffle roasted and stuffed chicken. Expect plush chairs, views overlooking the lobby below, a fine dining dinner-only menu to start, and required reservations. Jeffrey Tascarella, who opened NoMad NY, is in as managing partner for the property as well.

Next up is the Lobby, the day-to-day gathering place for not only hotel guests, but anyone in the area in need of a full meal, coffee, and Wi-Fi. With a variety of table setups and lounge-y seating on offer, this will likely be the buzziest place to catch a bite daily, from 7 a.m. to at least 10 p.m. Reservations for the lobby can be made on Resy right now.

Just off the lobby is the Giannini Bar, a home for cocktails from beverage director Leo Robitschek. It’s a smooth, more subtle place for daytime-to-evening drinking across cocktails, craft beer, and wine. And at the other end of the building, overlooking Olive Street, is a gold-wrapped coffee bar, shining with mirrors and marble like a Parisian hangout. There will be light pastries, quick morning caffeine, and European-style standing bars for customers to enjoy. Come evening, the first-floor space will lightly transition into serving wine and cocktails, with a hideaway bar that only reveals itself after the sun goes down.

Eventually the NoMad and Sydell teams hope to have the Rooftop open as well, operating as a standalone cafe and drinks space wrapping the elevated pool. That will take some time to come online though, so don’t expect anything until spring.

In the meantime, upcoming hotel guests and excited diners should have more than enough to keep them occupied. The whole NoMad LA property officially comes online January 21, though reservations for mezzanine and lobby dining can be made now.
