A sense of the place

The Whitby Hotel, Firmdale Hotels — one-bedroom suite — The bedroom of One Bedroom Suite 1108 at The Whitby Hotel: a tall headboard embroidered with palms, birds and red houses, white bedding with a scalloped quilted throw, a mustard bench at the foot of the bed, a blue tufted slipper chair and stool by a steel-framed window onto the Midtown towers, striped curtains and powder-blue walls; nobody in frame — Simon Brown / Firmdale Hotels

Why it's in the collection

Because Midtown has luxury on every corner and very little warmth, and this house has both: the rooms are as comfortable as any in the city and the public rooms are where you want to sit.

On West 56th Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, two blocks from Central Park; a Firmdale house.
Kit Kemp's rooms behind Crittall windows, her color turned to the muted palette of the avenues.
The Drawing Room, the Orangery and the courtyard terrace; the Whitby Bar with afternoon tea; the 147-seat Whitby Theater below.
Three MICHELIN Keys in the 2025 selection; holds five-star standing.
