My fiancé and I stayed for the night after a mix up with our intended hotel. The woman doing reservations, I think her name was Darilyn, made sure we were well accommodated. The service was impeccable. Great job Whitby! This will now be our go-to when we visit the big Apple.

5 It's gorgeous inside, with wild prints and beautiful art throughout. Good location if you like or need to be in midtown. Easy walk to the theaters. The high tea is worth it. I was traveling with my kid, so I didn't frequent the bar, but the jazz was nice to come home to. Uneven on doorman /- sometimes they were around to help, sometimes they weren't. Posh place, so be prepared to be a little glammed up to be noticed.

Stopped by here for a pre show drink and had a very good gin and tonic. A bit pricey- $20, but was a lovely location and atmosphere. I was glad we booked a table, even though it was a Wednesday it was very busy!

I've been to the Whitby twice for afternoon tea and the decor and ambiance alone are enough to go back. The whimsy mixed with elegance is the perfect blend and makes going to high tea feel fun and not pretentious. The food is rather hit or miss but overall the experience is stellar. Scones/biscuits- amazing, sandwiches - kind of bland but it's tea so maybe that's expected?, desserts - good but very sweet. Good for one bite. Overall it's a lovely experience and a better price point than most of the other options in the area. Definitely worth a visit!

This is worthwhile if you're interested in the ambiance - beautiful room with its decor and furniture, and the dining sets were lovely. The actual food was traditional in the sense that you get your typical sandwiches, scones, and sweet desserts. From the plethora of small bites, I'd say the only yummy item was the scones. The sandwiches didn't taste all that fresh and the dessert choices were just odd (chocolate mint cupcake?) at least to my palate. For the price, you may get better options elsewhere in the city.

The best hotel in all of NYC! I've been coming to visit the city for years, as my aunt is a resident. So fair to say I have stayed in a number of hotels across the city. This trip was no different in my quest to try out something new and when I saw the Whitby I knew I had to stay. I booked the room online and counted down the days until my stay. Upon arrival, the hotel is a bit more unassuming from the outside than I would have thought. Two wonderful doormen stood there waiting to help us in! We were then greeted by the concierge who took our bags as we arrived early, about 11am. They escorted us to the front desk. She was absolutely so kind and helped get us checked in. Simple and easy, and although our room wasn't ready, she had us ready to go once it was. We went out for a bit and got a call the room was ready about an hour after we had left. Upon re-arriving (and all the welcomes!) went up to the front desk and got our key! How lovely, our bags had been put in our room. Seamless. Up we went! The floors aren't overly crowded with rooms, maybe 10 per floor. Nice and quaint. The decor is eccentric yet tasteful. The room was ADORABLE! Greeted with a small built in book shelf in the entry hallway and the best floor to ceiling window. Call me crazy, while the room doesn't have "views" there is something so nice about the city buildings outside that is quintessential NYC to me. The best was so nicely made and comfortable. The bathroom had two sinks which was lovely for my mother and I to have our own. The shower. Amazing. Never have I had such wonderful water pressure at a hotel, let alone in the city. We left for the evening and when we came back the beds had been turned down, with water bottles ready for us on either side. They must've known!! Overall, there is not enough wonderful things to say about this hotel. The entire experience was nothing short of 5 stars. The staff is so welcoming and kind, the location is amazing, and the rooms are perfect! Already figuring out when I can stay again.

My wife and I went to the theatre at the Whitby Hotel for a Netflix/SAG Awards screening of Squid Game (Ep 6) and a lovely reception afterward with some of the cast. I was pleasantly surprised by the remarkable theatre downstairs. Makes me wonder how many more hotels have movie theatres in them. I've been to three thus far. The interior decor of this place was absolutely beautiful and I can't compliment the staff enough. I am looking forward to visiting it again soon for more events.

I know it is hard to find anything charming in midtown and this hotel certainly is charming, but it is nowhere near as charming as it needs to be to command these prices. Also, the decor is original and delightful, but that delight gives way to feeling taken advantage of after a day or two as the hotel's shortfalls start to become more and more apparent. For one thing, the staff is mediocre. They are genuinely trying to do their best, but as much as they try, they are simply not the right people for the job. I am going to guess that the hotel owners (Firmdale) don't want to pay for an A+ staff and happy to skate-by with the B-team to maximize profit. Places like The Mark and The Carlyle are institutions that know the value of the A+ team and it makes a huge difference in the guest experience because they do. It feels like you are part of a family there while it feels like everyone here wants to do the minimum not to get fired and the hotel wants to pay them the minimum needed not to quit. Even The Crosby downtown (sister hotel to The Whitby) has done a much better job hiring. If Soho hasn't become an outdoor shopping mall with idiots fighting over "limited edition" merchandise to stand in line for, buy and sell on eBay at every corner, I would have stayed there, but alas, the days of Soho being cool and edgy are far and away in the rear view mirror. Soho is only still cool for the clueless. I digress, the concierge at The Whitby has zero pull around town and is basically left googling, Open Table-ing and Resy-ing the same as you would without their help. We got where we needed to go with zero help from them. They tried, but simply don't have the skills or connections to make anything meaningful happen. Other hotels in this price range can pull off miracles when needed. These guys don't even know what the new restaurants and shows are, let alone have special access to them. Also, the front desk staff aren't cold by any means but they are also not particularly warm or welcoming and the none of the staff wear N-95 masks and all get by with a paper one often hanging below their noses. New York is the Covid variant epicenter of the world. This should not be acceptable at any price range, let alone this. Now to the rooms. 1. At these prices, the curtains and shades need to be automatic. I have to work every night and morning to open or close them. Their cords are also very awkwardly placed and hard to reach (behind TVs, night stands, etc) 2. They do not have those heated room service compartments to deliver warm food to the rooms, so the best you can hope for is room temp food. 3. There is a single off switch for all the lights in the room by the door. If it is on, you have to navigate your way in the dark, if it is off, you are blinded. Not an the fluid experience one would expect for a $2000 room or a $5000 suite. The Baccarat Hotel has the lighting (and room service) thing down to a science. I can go on and on, but the bottom line is, if you are willing to pay these prices, don't expect to have the experience associated with them. If they give you 50% off and you have to be in Midtown, then you are about where you should be viz a viz the price to value ratio for a 5 star midtown hotel. Do better Whitby or lower your prices to match the experience you actually provide.

This hotel is conveniently located right off 5th Avenue and a short distance to Central Park. However, I did not find that the service justified the cost of my stay. The cost of my room included breakfast but the restaurant didn't open until 8 and I had 8:30 meetings both days as I was on a work trip. Second, I made a reservation for afternoon tea for Friday afternoon and when my client and I arrived for our tea, we were told that they couldn't accommodate us as I hadn't made the proper reservation, even though a) I did make the reservation, in person, with the maitre d' and b) a woman was already seated at another table having tea. After 20 minutes they finally accommodated us but it was embarrassing and a letdown. Lastly, I asked the concierge to help procure me a town car to take to JFK late Friday afternoon. I did ask for the cost of the car but was never notified. When I received my final bill the cost of that 1 way, 1 hour trip to Kennedy from mid-town was $396 (which was more than my flight back to Texas). I asked for help with this and they did give me a very slight refund but refused to do anything further (and refused to return my calls). Just saying if you stay there please be very careful when asking the concierge for any help or recommendations. Unless you really don't care about any prices...but in that case you'd probably want to stay in a nicer hotel.

Had a great time at the whitby hotel for afternoon tea this week. The service was exceptional, the decor was beautiful and we enjoyed the food. Sandwiches and the scones were my favorite. We chose the champagne special which was worth it! The young lady who was our host was great- Yeung! She was very thoughtful and kept checking in to make sure we were ok. Will definitely be back
