NYC's Hidden Gem: The Kitano's Timeless Elegance ✨

Sisters, I've discovered a treasure in New York! A stunning fusion of Japanese refinement and NYC charm, operated by Japan's Kitano Group. From the moment you step inside, it feels like entering a classic film 🎬 🏙️ Location｜Unbeatable Vibes! Nestled at Park Ave & 38th St—serene yet central! Just a 5-minute walk to the Empire State Building and Times Square. Perfect for an easy stroll back after an evening out. The highlight? An authentic tea house transported from Japan 🍵 Sipping matcha in NYC’s concrete jungle is a surreal experience! 🛏️ Rooms｜Japanese-Inspired Luxury I gasped when I entered! Wooden floors, emerald velvet sofas 🛋️, brass lamps, and vintage art—every detail is aesthetics on point 📸 Full set of Japanese POLA bath amenities, yukata robes, and handwritten welcome cards. Even the sake in the mini bar is cheaper than NYC average prices 🍶 🍣 Dining｜Michelin-Level Kaiseki Downstairs! The hotel’s "KITANO NOHGAKU" serves rare, authentic kaiseki in NYC. For breakfast, I chose the Japanese set: grilled fish, tamagoyaki, miso soup + natto—a taste of Kyoto mornings. Their eggs Benedict beats 90% of NYC brunch spots! (Best part: hotel guests skip the queue!) 💁 Service｜Next-Level Japanese Hospitality The front desk switched to Chinese when they saw my passport. They even placed lavender spray + a weather card by the bed ☁️ At checkout, handmade konpeitō candy was gifted as a souvenir 🍬 Such thoughtful touches are rare in Western hotels! 🎩 Highlights｜Jazz & Vintage Elevator The legendary "Kitano Jazz Club" in the basement hosts world-class live performances every Friday 🎷 And the 1920s vintage elevator is adorable—brass dials, leather seats, slow ascent… Just like a scene from The Grand Budapest Hotel! The bar on the first floor is perfect for evening cocktails 🍸 Sit at the counter, watch travelers pass by, and feel the true essence of New York. #HotelKitano #NYCHotels #LuxuryStay #NYCtravel #JapaneseElegance #NYCVibes #TimelessNYC #TravelInspo
