About The Whitby Hotel
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.
Why Celebrities Love The Whitby Hotel
A strong design imagination runs through the hotel, which is reason enough for visually minded guests to take notice. Its cinema and private event rooms also have a clear use for a film launch or a small gathering around a project. The Orangery's natural light and Peter Rocklin's New York paintings give those occasions an appealing sense of place.
