    beautiful decor
    really good shower
    limited options
    noise disturbances
    laundry facilities

    The Superior Room was beautifully decorated. The shower was an absolute highlight. Dining options were superb, especially the English Breakfast, awesome. It would have been nice to have more vegetarian options on the menu and perhaps better soundproofing to mitigate outside noise. A nice stay!

    unheated towel rack
    missing coffee maker
    lack of amenities

    The staff were great. I found the unheated towel rack to be a bit disappointing and I expected a coffee maker in the room for added convenience.

    Location: the hotel was close enough to midtown Manhattan, the centre next to all the shops, and the financial district. The staff was courteous, and requests were handled quickly.

    Some of the staff were awful.

    The friendly staff and luxurious ambiance exceeded my expectations. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the luxury room let in so much light, and the cleanliness was excellent.

    the towel rack wasn't heated.

    unheated towel rack
    lacking amenities

    There were some hiccups worth noting. The towel rack didn't heat up during the summer stay, which might be a letdown for those looking for cozy comforts. The room missed some expected amenities like daily replenishment of the tea set, leaving a desire for a milk pot for the provided tea. For those who have a preference for bathtubs over showers, it's essential to confirm room specifications, as not all options come equipped with a tub.

    Staying at The Whitby in NYC was lovely! The artistic decor captivated me, and the cozy bar created a perfect relaxation spot after exploring the city. We did encounter a long wait for room readiness, but the exquisite environment and attentive service made it worthwhile.

    beautifully decorated room
    attentive staff
    comfortable duvet
    expensive dining
    small cocktails

    What an very nice experience! The stay was for a birthday celebration in NYC, and I loved how beautifully everything was decorated-like walking through an art gallery. The room was not only clean and quiet, but also comfortable with a fantastic duvet. The staff was attentive. My only downside would be that dining can be a bit pricey, but given the quality, it felt worth it.

    kind staff

    This place suits me perfectly! It offers great amenities like wi-fi, a fitness center, and a cozy bar/lounge. The staff was kind to my elderly parents during our first stay, which I'll always remember. I recommend trying their in-room breakfast. I'm excited to return for a romantic escape!
