When traveling to one of the most dynamic and fast paced cities in the world like New York City, I’m sure guests would appreciate staying in a hotel that feels like a home rather than a hotel. Tim and Kit Kemp, founders of Firmdale Hotels are known for their layered and cozy atmosphere they bring to their hotels. The Whitby Hotel located in the heart of Upper Midtown Manhattan, is the couple’s second Hotel in New York City, after The Crosby Street Hotel in SoHo. The 86 bedrooms and suites were designed by Firmdale Hotel’s design director Kit Kemp in her characteristic English style. Each room in The Whitby Hotel has its own color scheme, floor to ceiling windows, a great feature in any New York City space where light seems to be missing in Winter. Bathrooms are in either marble or granite with a free standing bath tub. I’ve seen a few pictures of the hotel bar and restaurant with its rich saturated upholstery and high ceilings. Definitely, The Whitby Hotel a place to go and feel cozy in.
