Quiet hotel centrally located in Manhattan. The rooms are spacious especially by New York standards with large well organized closets. Room service was prompt and delicious. The only drawback was that I had several bags and received no assistance from any staff at the hotel to unload and get them into the lobby. The front desk staff was a bit cold and it seemed to take them longer then usual at most hotels to check in/out.

We stayed here for a weekend meetup with friends. The hotel is beautifully decorated, and is perfectly located. It was also quiet considering the midtown location. However, it felt expensive for what it was (though we know that prices are inflated throughout the city). The biggest issue there is the laughably bad restaurant service. We had lunch and a breakfast there. A quick lunch of one course ended up taking two hours. Breakfast was even worse. My husband ordered hash browns and oatmeal and I got the continental breakfast. The first thing that arrived at our table was the hash brown, before we even got coffee or plates. My husband ate the hash brown on his little bread plate. They never even noticed. We got our coffee ten minutes later after we asked about it twice, another 20 minutes went by before we got the rest of our breakfast. We know that there is a service shortage throughout the country, but given the prices they are taking from guests, they should be able to afford better trained staff. The restaurant was so bad that we ordered our breakfast in our room on the second day just to avoid it.…

We spent four nights at this hotel and it was the only time in our New York history where we did not have to sleep with our ear plugs and get woken up constantly. Our room number 608 was off the main hallway and never did we hear another guest or hotel staff person. While the room view is of the alley behind the hotel, the benefit is that you don’t hear any traffic, sirens or pedestrian activity and it’s remarkably peaceful and a nice break from the hectic city. The rooms and common areas are impeccably and pointed and maintained. If you happen to be here for a conference, the facilities in the basement are uniquely decorated and exquisite. The adjacent Whitby restaurant and bar also is excellent as we had breakfast, post theater and dinner there with wonderful experiences all around.…

A little tardy in writing this review...we attended a family wedding in NYC in June and stayed at The Whitby. What a treat...in all ways. The staff was incredible, the design and interiors of the hotel provide a feast for the eyes. The lounge and restaurant...perfection. This boutique property provides a perfect respite from the hustle of the city and is just a few short blocks from a beautiful stroll in Central Park. We look forward to returning to our new discovered hideaway!

Stayed for weekend event that was based in hotel. So I had the opportunity to see multiple guest accommodations, several public areas, and several private reserved spaces. Everything was beautifully appointed. The staff was awesome with several going out of the way to be friendly and helpful. And all of the food was delicious. I was so sad to leave.
