Quick Verdict: Soho Grand Hotel vs The Whitby Hotel

When Soho Grand Hotel wins: pick Soho Grand if you want downtown energy—on-site 24-hour dining, live-music nights in the Club Room, a seasonal outdoor restaurant, and a strong pet policy make it the choice for nightlife, food, and flexible late hours.

When The Whitby Hotel wins: choose The Whitby if you prefer a Midtown base near Fifth Avenue, Top of the Rock and Central Park with Firmdale’s colorful interiors and a smaller, design-focused hotel feel.

Bottom line: neither property is a better hotel overall—Soho Grand is for travelers who want SoHo’s nightlife and larger event spaces; The Whitby is for travelers prioritizing Midtown location and design-driven rooms.
