    beautiful decor
    exceptional shower
    limited options
    noise disturbances
    laundry facilities

    The Superior Room was beautifully decorated, making it a delightful place to relax. The shower was an absolute highlight, providing a spa-like experience. Dining options were superb, especially the English Breakfast, which exceeded expectations. However, it would have been nice to have more vegetarian options on the menu and perhaps better soundproofing to mitigate outside noise. Overall, a memorable stay!

    unheated towel rack
    missing coffee maker
    lack of amenities

    I enjoyed my stay in the luxury room, particularly the large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The staff were friendly and attentive, making my experience pleasant. However, I found the unheated towel rack to be a bit disappointing and I expected a coffee maker in the room for added convenience.

    i recently stayed for 4 nights, and it easily topped my previous stay in new york. the friendly staff and luxurious ambiance truly exceeded my expectations, making it a perfect getaway. the floor-to-ceiling windows in the luxury room let in so much light, and the cleanliness was outstanding.

    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 incredible 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 incredibly comfortable with a fantastic duvet. The staff was attentive and made sure everything was perfect, which really enhanced the overall experience. 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 incredibly 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!

    key issue
    slight inconvenience

    The Superior Room was beautifully decorated and super comfy. I loved the floor-to-ceiling windows letting in so much natural light. The luxurious bathroom amenities were a nice touch. The whole vibe felt upscale but homey. Just a heads up, though, I had to leave my key at the front desk every time, which was a bit annoying.

    rooftop terrace
    afternoon tea
    busy phone service

    I loved how the warm, cozy atmosphere made settling in easy. The afternoon tea was such a delightful treat! The rooftop terrace and spa provided perfect spots to unwind after a busy day. Just a heads up that the phone service for room service could get a bit busy during peak hours, but the staff was always helpful when I visited them directly. 😊
