Book NowThe Kitano Review
As you might guess from the name, the Kitano imports much of its sensibility from Japan, and such touches include a bilingual concierge and a high-concept Japanese restaurant. Notably, this makes for a service-oriented stay, a welcome change of pace in New York. One thing that's not classically Japanese? The oversize guest rooms, decked out in beige and gold, have an electric teakettle, Gilchrist & Soames bath amenities, and marble-floor bathrooms. Head downstairs and through the eerily quiet lobby to sample the on-site Japanese restaurant Hakubai, or just to rub Fernando Botero's rotund sculpture of a dog for good luck—it's the hotel's mascot.
