Unique property—sister to The Crosby Street Hotel, hits my preference for non-chain, run of the mill hotels.

Located in upper midtown Manhattan, 1585 feet from the Central Park, the Whitby Hotel is a short distance away from stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman. The Whitby Hotel offers complimentary WiFi to all guests. Each room at The Whitby Hotel is individually designed with floor to ceiling windows. Some rooms have a private terrace and offer views of the Manhattan skyline. Interiors have been designed by Kit Kemp. Guests will also have access to The Whitby Bar and Restaurant, an Orangery, a book-lined drawing room as well as a fully equipped gym. The Museum of Modern Art is 1585 feet from the property, while Rockefeller Center and St. Patrick’s Cathedral are 2641 feet from the property.
