What The Kitano New York actually is

The Kitano is the Japanese-owned hotel on Park Avenue at 38th Street, and it operates with a precision and quietness that sets it apart from most Midtown properties. The service style, the tea service, and the attention to detail in the rooms are all recognisably Japanese.

Downstairs, Jazz at Kitano has been one of the city's more serious small jazz rooms for years. The hotel also has traditional Japanese suites with tatami flooring alongside its Western rooms. Murray Hill is a residential, low-key part of Midtown, and Grand Central is a ten-minute walk north.

What stands out

  • 01 Japanese ownership and service standards on Park Avenue
  • 02 Jazz at Kitano, an established live music room
  • 03 Traditional tatami suites alongside Western rooms
  • 04 Quiet Murray Hill location, ten minutes from Grand Central
