A memorable gathering calls for plenty of conversation, and the Reading Room is happy to lend a hand. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves wrap around the room, joined by shadow boxes housing miniature scenes and curious keepsakes. Filled with character and made to suit many an occasion, it’s an especially charming setting for dinners, celebrations and time spent in very good company.

Start the evening with a little heat, courtesy of the our Rabbit Fire cocktail. Bright pineapple and ginger meet the bold kick of habanero for a lively, flavourful finish. Our tuna tacos make the perfect pairing, offering a fresh contrast to every spicy sip.

There is a playful thread running through the Clementine Suite, quite literally. You’ll find hand selected Pierre Frey fabric climbing the headboard, dressing the windows, covering the armchairs and, rather fittingly, dressing the mannequin too.

Beyond the spacious interiors, the private terrace brings a change of scene in crisp blue and green stripes, with Midtown providing the backdrop. It is the sort of place that makes breakfast outside or evening cocktails feel almost necessary, with the streets of Manhattan unfolding below.

Our Pistachio Tiramisu makes a convincing case for dessert: layers of coffee-soaked sponge with mascarpone and pistachio, finished with a vibrant cherry compote.

The best details are often the ones you don't expect. In Suite 1108, a charming puppet theatre tucked inside the fireplace is just one of the playful discoveries waiting to be found. From bold textiles and joyful colour to one-of-a-kind furnishings, every corner reflects Kit Kemp's belief that a room should tell a story—and invite you to become part of it.

For nearly two decades, Executive Chef Anthony Paris has helped shape Firmdale's culinary story in New York. A native New Yorker, jazz musician, and chef, Anthony has always been drawn to the unexpected and the beautiful. When he first stepped into Crosby Street Hotel, he says it felt like kismet. He was captivated by Kit Kemp's singular design philosophy and inspired by the idea of contributing to a place where art, beauty, and food coexist so seamlessly. Following his time at Crosby Street Hotel, Chef Anthony joined The Whitby Hotel when it opened in 2017, where he continues to create dishes that reflect the same sense of creativity, individuality, and warmth that define the hotel itself.
