“The Prince Kitano impresses with its unique blend of Japanese hospitality in the heart of New York, something I found genuinely appealing. Its central location near Grand Central Station, paired with the rooftop bar offering skyline views, positions it as a quiet escape close to the action; spacious rooms with thoughtful touches further enhance the experience, setting it apart from typical Midtown hotels. For travelers seeking a touch of Japanese elegance and a calm retreat amid the city's energy, this hotel stands out as a distinctive choice.”

charmed by the authentic japanese touch

heated toilet lovely view convenient location
i found a heated toilet with a bidet in my room, a unexpected amenity. my room had a lovely view overlooking a nearby church. the location made it easy, with almost everything i wanted to see being less than a 20-minute walk away
the lobby staff was disinterested upon arrival. i asked for water, especially after a hot journey, but i was told it was only available from the minibar at a cost. the room felt quite small compared to other accommodations
