Holiday Inn Express

The Nash Apartments, a Sonder property participating in the Marriott Bonvoy program, offers a distinct lodging experience in the heart of New York’s Midtown East. Housed within a classic pre-war building that was once the Hotel Grand Union, the property merges historic architectural charm with contemporary residential design. Its location on East 39th Street places guests within a neighborhood defined by iconic skyscrapers, diplomatic missions, and the constant energy of Manhattan commerce. The building’s traditional brick facade gives way to modern interiors, creating a unique environment for travelers seeking the independence of apartment living combined with the assurances of a recognized hospitality brand.

Accommodations at The Nash are designed as fully self-contained apartments, ranging from studios to larger one-bedroom units. Each space is conceived to function as a private home, featuring separate living and sleeping areas, fully equipped kitchens, and in-unit laundry facilities. The interior aesthetic is clean and modern, characterized by hardwood floors, contemporary furnishings, and a neutral color palette that maximizes natural light. This apartment-style model caters to a variety of travelers, including those on extended business assignments, families needing extra space, or visitors who prefer the autonomy of preparing their own meals and maintaining a personal routine while away from home.

The experience is managed through Sonder’s technology-forward approach, which emphasizes seamless, digital-first service. Guests handle check-in, service requests, and communication primarily through a mobile application, fostering a sense of self-sufficiency. This modern operational style is complemented by the property’s shared facilities, which are designed as extensions of the private living spaces. A rooftop terrace provides an open-air escape with impressive views of the surrounding urban landscape, including a direct sightline to the Chrysler Building, while a well-equipped fitness center allows guests to maintain their wellness regimen. The combination of private, well-appointed apartments and thoughtful communal areas provides a balanced experience of privacy and community.
