The Whitby Hotel

Situated in the heart of upper midtown Manhattan on West 56th Street at 5th Avenue, The Whitby Hotel is a celebration of contemporary art and design. It's just two blocks from Central Park and on the doorstep of some of New York's leading restaurants, galleries and museums, including MoMA. There are 86 individually designed bedrooms and suites, each with floor to ceiling windows, many with a private terrace and stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. Interiors have been designed by Kit Kemp in her award-winning modern British style. The Whitby is an interior designer’s dream. The decor is unlike any other hotel in the area, and it captures city luxury with a countryside twist. Every room is different, and you are guaranteed some of the most comfortable beds in Midtown with a riot of colorful fabrics and art.

Beyond the rooms, The Whitby is a short walk to Central Park and located near plenty of other must-see sites. While they don’t have an on-site pool or spa, they do have a movie theater that hosts Sunday screenings, a gorgeous afternoon tea in the sun-drenched Orangery bar, and a modern fitness facility. If you want to stay in a place that feels less like a sterile hotel and more like a quirky home, this is a great option.
