Room 1103 at The Whitby Hotel

Day to Day

Step inside Room 1103 at The Whitby Hotel...

Tucked above the bustling streets of New York City lies a retreat that immerses you in an animal-inspired wonderland. Welcome to Room 1103 at The Whitby Hotel, a hidden gem in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows flood the room with natural light, while its vibrant design creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Step inside and discover how every corner of this enchanting space comes alive.

Soft red walls set a romantic, magical tone the moment you enter. At the centre, the grand Sam headboard, upholstered in Huberta, a hand-embroidered crewel fabric by Clarence House, steals the show. This extraordinary textile bursts with imagination, with enchanted birds, lively crocodiles and mythical trees leaping from the fabric in bold, captivating colours. More than a backdrop, it is a work of art, framed with delicate nickel studding that highlights the sweeping shape of the headboard, adding definition and tailored elegance.

The drapes, crafted from our Ring Road fabric with GP and J Baker, offer playful contrast. Bold curves bring movement to the windows, while the palette echoes the headboard’s hues, creating a dialogue between the two. Together, they lift the room, infusing rhythm, flow and a playful sense of character.

To ground the space, a soft wool is used on the bed valance, adding warmth and subtle sophistication. The set of armchairs and end of bed stool provide a simple, structured canvas while introducing playful pops of colour. Pink piping adds charm and a sunny yellow across the upper panels brings a cheerful glow. It is in these small details that the room’s personality truly shines. Finishing touches inject even more delight. A bold geometric tapestry in a brightly painted frame leaps from the wall, while a striking mannequin draped in Ring Road fabric showcases the pattern in a fun, unexpected way.

Room 1103 is full of character and joy, inviting you to sink into the bed and soak up its playful spirit. Animal lovers, in particular, will feel perfectly at home in this whimsical Midtown hideaway.
