Iconic brasserie Pastis to open in WPB
The Nora District, West Palm Beach’s vibrant, pedestrian-friendly destination announced today the addition of Pastis, the quintessential New York City Parisian-style brasserie by James Beard Award-winning restaurateur Stephen Starr (STARR Restaurants), as The Nora Hotel’s ground floor restaurant. In addition to Pastis, STARR Restaurants will co-create the hotel’s rooftop restaurant and lounge as well as operate in-room dining service. This will mark the fourth location for Pastis, with existing restaurants in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, Washington D.C. and Miami.
The Nora Hotel will be a 201-key boutique hotel developed in partnership with BD Hotels and Sean MacPherson. BD Hotels is notably behind some of New York City’s most iconic hotels including The Greenwich, The Bowery, The Mercer, Hotel Chelsea and others. The Nora Hotel marks BD Hotels second hotel collaboration with Wheelock Street Capital, after the successful relaunch of Hotel Chelsea in 2023.
“At its core, Nora is a district rooted in hospitality. The Nora Hotel will serve as a focal point of the district, a place where guests can experience world-class hospitality paired with impressive food and beverage operators, among other lifestyle and wellness-driven tenants just steps away from the hotel. We look forward to welcoming Pastis as one of the greatest neighborhood bistros in the country to anchor what we believe will be the premier hotel offering in West Palm Beach,” said Richard Born, owner of BD Hotels.
