Kit Kemp’s appetite for color, pattern, and craftsmanship gives The Whitby Hotel its personality, from individually designed bedrooms to a drawing room filled with art and an honesty bar. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the Manhattan setting into every room and suite, with many looking across the skyline. Downstairs, a pewter-topped bar anchors The Whitby Bar & Restaurant, where handcrafted objects and original artworks share space with afternoon tea and a seasonal European menu. Set on West 56th Street just off Fifth Avenue, two blocks from Central Park, this Firmdale hotel makes an appealing base for travelers who take as much interest in the rooms they inhabit as the city outside.
