The Whitby

Behind The Whitby are the founders of Firmdale Hotels, Tim and Kit Kemp. In this elegant hotel, too, designer Kit Kemp has remained true to her timeless, English, always cosy style of living and has transformed the 86 room small penthouse hotel into a haven of peace in the pulsating megacity. In the heart of Upper Midtown, on 56th Street on the exclusive Fifth Avenue, Central Park is just two blocks away. Other attractions such as the MoMA and numerous shops and restaurants are also on the doorstep. The Whitby is a modern, uncomplicated hotel that conveys a sense of lightness and joy, adding color to your stay even on gray city days. Celebrating art and design are the great, beautiful themes of this hotel.
