The hype
Travelers universally adore the vibrant decor and the 'nothing is too much trouble' service, often calling it their favorite stay in NYC.
The Whitby Hotel
$825-1,200+/ 晚
如果以下情況適用，請預訂 You want a whimsical, design-forward British oasis that feels like a wealthy friend's townhouse in the middle of Midtown's chaos.
為什麼人們喜歡它
- Kit Kemp's signature colorful, pattern-clashing interiors that banish beige
- Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room (a rarity for Midtown)
- The guest-only Drawing Room with its cozy fireplace and honesty bar
快速概覽： It's an insanely expensive, impeccably designed English fantasy that makes you forget you're two blocks from the tourist hellscape of 5th Avenue.
由 @courtneythetravelista 評論: I checked into The Whitby and was blown away by the design—it's like sleeping in a museum. My suite had a massive terrace which is impossible to find in Midtown. The marble bathroom was the highlight of my trip, perfect for a soak after a long day.
住過這裡的客人說
Reality check
The 'finance bro' crowd can dominate the breakfast scene, and the price tag (often $1k+) sets a sky-high bar that the lack of a pool might miss for some.
- You obsess over interior design and hate 'cookie-cutter' luxury
- You need a quiet, residential vibe in the heart of the city
- You are traveling with a dog (no pet fee for dogs under 40lbs!)

- Linens & towels: High thread count, crisp, and replaced generously. Robes are plush.
- Odors & scents: Signature 'Rik Rak' scent (gardenia/eucalyptus) permeates the halls; no musty or smoke smells.

常見問題與隱藏小貼士
預訂前您真正想知道的一切。
Is there a resort fee?
Technically no 'resort fee' is advertised, but expect a 'destination fee' or similar charge of ~$35-45/night to appear on your final bill, covering wifi and gym access.
Is breakfast included?
Usually no. It's à la carte and pricey ($30 for continental buffet, $38 for cooked). Book a rate that includes it if you plan to eat there daily.
Is there a pool?
No. There is a gym, but no pool or sauna/steam room.
How close is the subway?
Extremely close. The 57th St (F line) is around the corner, and 5th Ave/53rd St (E/M lines) is a 5-minute walk.
Is it kid-friendly?
Yes, surprisingly. They offer mini bathrobes, milk and cookies at turndown, and a children's menu, though the vibe is definitely 'adult sophistication'.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes! Up to two dogs (max 40lbs) stay for FREE. They get a bed, bowl, and treats.
內幕秘訣
- ✨
The 'Honesty Bar' in the Drawing Room is often empty of people mid-afternoon—it's like having a private living room.
- ✨
Ask the concierge for the 'walking guide' to the neighborhood; it's curated better than Google Maps.
- ✨
The Rik Rak bath products (Kit Kemp's own line) smell incredible—ask housekeeping for an extra set to take home.
出發前需要知道的 5 件事
💡The 'finance bro' energy at breakfast is real—lots of business deals happening over $20 fruit plates.
💡The elevators can be a bit slow during peak check-out times.
💡You might spot a celebrity in the Drawing Room; it's a favorite low-key hideout.
💡The air conditioning is powerful and silent—a massive plus in NYC summers.
💡The 'Orangery' room is stunning but can get booked out for private events, so don't bank on dining there without a reservation.
