There are hotels that are far cheaper but none with the extras that are standard at the Whitby. It has spoiled me for other hotels in NYC. Despite the price I will try to return.
The Whitby will rank as one of very best places I have ever stayed.
The decor is unique throughout the public areas (as it is in every room, which I saw when I was given a “tour”).
The staff without exception are charming and helpful and respond to every request with lightening speed.
The room we stayed in, a junior suite, was roomy, bright and beautifully furnished and comfortable.
The bathroom was large and exquisite with wonderful modern vintage replicas of sinks, taps and fittings with a
roomy powerful shower and delightful liquid “extras”. The cupboards were spacious and well lit
Moving on to the bar and restaurant, they were again beautiful rooms almost always “buzzy” with outstanding
service and a very “modern” choice of food.
There is a very well equipped gym in the lower ground floor
And, I almost forgot the wonderful location, virtually on 5th Avenue.
We will wholeheartedly recommend this property to our clients
The hotel is beautifully designed, and our room was equally gorgeous with a very comfortable bed. It was also surprisingly quiet considering the location.
Our only comment is that it would be great if there were tea and coffee making facilities in the room and our first day we found an false eyelash in the bathroom. However, this was quickly sorted by the staff who sent a complimentary fruit and drinks as an apology.
Other than this we would definitely stay at the Whitby again when we next return to NY.
Thank goodness!
Walking into the Whitby is like walking into another world off the grey streets of Manhattan. Kit Kemps design takes you into a fun, colourful oasis with ultra comfortable, quiet and spacious rooms and some impeccable staff members to match.
Great location , a bit too close to phenomenal shopping and to Central Park.
One of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve experienced although some wait staff could do with being a little more cheery.
The bar always lively and atmospheric, love the live music! The bar tenders went above and beyond. The new year’s celebrations were wonderful!
Always welcomed so warmly into the hotel by Paul and Jerry.
I will absolutely make this my ‘go to’ when in NYC.
Well done Kathrin & team !
So, if you want to be surrounded by a great, colorfully designed hotel............then try the.................Whitby Hotel...............stylish & charming, one of Soho's best.
The MoMa, Central Park, all a stone throw away. Why not stroll to the Metropolitan Museum or the Guggenheim, about a 30-35 min walk away? We immediately felt at home, and also important: at ease, in this luxurious hotel which was a bit above our means but we had something to celebrate. If we have something to celebrate again we would love to return.
The room itself was quite comfortable with a very large bathroom; It had a wall of windows, so it was full of light and generally very thoughtfully designed. The public spaces, the bar/restaurant and the library are just as pleasant to be in. The staff is first-rate and the quality of our stay exceeded that of just about any hotel experience we've ever had. The art collection is whimsical and uplifting. Just a lovely place to be.
