The Whitby

The Whitby is a luxury hotel with 86 rooms spread across 16 floors near Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. Each room features large windows with skyline views and custom-designed interiors with individual color schemes and white marble bathrooms.

The property was founded by Tim and Kit Kemp, British hoteliers who had already built a successful reputation with their first New York venture. This second Manhattan property solidified their standing in the upscale hotel market.

The hotel displays handcrafted baskets from different British regions and original artworks throughout its corridors, reflecting the British heritage of its founders. This blend of European craftsmanship with New York hospitality shapes how guests experience the interior spaces.

The location sits two blocks from Central Park and close to the Museum of Modern Art, making nearby attractions easily accessible. Getting to the major airports by public transportation is straightforward without involving long travel times.

The property features an art collection that includes original works by artist Eileen Cooper strategically placed throughout its hallways and public areas. This curation creates its own artistic narrative across the interior spaces.
