The hotel itself is very nice. Located approximately 2 walking blocks from Grand Central (exit GC to Pershing Square) on Park Avenue. We arrived around 11:00 a.m. and they checked us in and even upgraded us to a suite (we had booked a superior room with double beds). We ended up taking our daughter and they put a bed in... more

My husband had heard of the Kitano from a comment made from a Professional Tennis Player. After reading other positive reviews, we decided to try it on our recent visit. We could not have been happier. The Kitano was situated a few blocks up from Grand Central right over Park Avenue. With the windows shut, there was absolutely no outside... more

We stayed in this hotel after reading the reviews on TA, and using its booking service to get a fabulous rate. While the normal rights are pretty high, it is definitely worth staying here if you can afford the rates. Good central location a couple blocks from the subway or from Grand Central Terminus. The rooms are modern and elegant... more

We stayed here over Easter weekend for my husband's birthday. We booked it with an amazingly low rate from Quickbook. We had a superior king room on the 11th floor. The staff were very nice, polite and efficient. The hotel was quiet and had an overall tranquil feel about it. I really liked the electric tea kettle in the room;... more

This hotel is so quiet...The entire hotel has calming colors-classy decor and a Botero fat cat in the lobby. The beds and pillows were comfy. Nice lobby-I never got to the Jazz or the bar. Parking was little expensive-it is in a nice residential neighborhood of Manhattan-close to everything! more

The Kitano is a perfectly adequate, above average hotel. Upon checking in I was greeted by two friendly employees who got me checked-in and to my room in less than 5 minutes, which is always a plus when checking in around 8 p.m. The lobby is attractive, clad with marble and warm lighting. When I exited the elevator to my... more

The value was exceptional for the quality, as I happened to catch them on what must be a VERY RARE occasion with not all the rooms fully booked. They are a short walk to Grand Central station, across from a beautiful church. When you're travelling on business, a comfortable bed is a must so you can get a good night's... more

My husband and I stayed at the Kitano for 4 nights at the beginning of April for our honeymoon, and we had a fantastic time. The hotel room (Superior King on the 7th floor) was spacious, immaculately clean, great shower, extremely comfy bed and we had a view onto Park Avenue. The hotel is in an excellent location for sightseeing... more

Arrived to a warm welcome and was shown to a 10th floor corner room (1005). Although I had booked a corner room, this room was bigger than I expected and was very light with a good view of the fairly quiet Park Ave. Clean, spacious and well equiped. Staff very friendly & helpful. Good quality shampoos etc and both fixed... more
