The Whitby Hotel — backstory

Backstory

Built from scratch in 2017, the sixteen-story limestone and steel tower marked Firmdale's second bold foray into Manhattan.

The Whitby Hotel — eat & drink

Eat & drink

The Whitby Bar serves seasonal fare beneath a long pewter counter, with traditional afternoon tea poured in the light-flooded Orangery.

The neighborhood

MoMA sits just down the block, with Fifth Avenue shopping and the open green lawns of Central Park two streets away.

“Two blocks from Central Park you'll find Kit Kemp at her playful best.”
