the whitby hotel, new york city

Firmdale Hotels is bringing Kit Kemp’s colorful, mixed-pattern whimsy to Midtown Manhattan in March. Just off Central Park, the Whitby, the group’s second hotel in New York, has 86 individually designed bedrooms, each with its own color scheme. All have floor-to-ceiling windows, and many have terraces. As with Firmdale’s first New York property, the popular Crosby Street Hotel, a 130-seat cinema will screen films for guests and the public.
