The Whitby Hotel


My love for hotels started when I was 11.  
My family moved overseas and I was lucky enough to stay at some amazing hotels in London, Oman and Dubai.   

Recently I discovered Firmadel Hotels on Instagram (@firmdale_hotels) and I have since become OBSESSED.  They have hotels in New York and London and today I want to share photos of one of their New York Locations. 
The Whitby Hotel.  
Located at:
18 W 56th Street
New York, NY 10019

                                                                  exterior 

Below are photos of Lobby: 
The lobby is light and bring with soaring glass windows and striking artwork.

                                                                                    lobby
The Drawing Room:
The drawing room is a sumptuous and colorful residents lounge with an elegant fireplace, bespoke library collection, original artwork and honesty bar.  The fireplace is Greek, mid 18th century style and features garlands of leaves and acorns tied by ribbon, representing peace, prosperity and longevity.

The Orangery:
The Orangery provides the perfect setting for breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon tea.  There is a stunning wall of 40 illuminated porcelain pots by Martha Freud, each etched with a landmark New York building or bridge.

The hotel has many rooms and suites to choose (all are amazing), the one I'd like to share today is the Whitby Suite.

The Whitby Suite:
The Whitby Suite occupies the entire top floor.  The suite is a spacious two bedroom suite with floor to ceiling windows, two king size bedrooms, a large living room, guest powder room and kitchen. Doors lead onto two sweeping terraces with stunning views of New York, spanning both sides of the hotel.  The oversized white marble bathrooms are beautifully designed with two basins, a deep bath tub and separate shower.

Silkeborg - Ikea turkish rug

Incase you don't already know, Ikea has a great new (limited) rug collection out!  Its called Silkeborg and you won't find it on their website (at least in the US). Silkeborg rugs are made from vintage Turkish rugs that have been cut up (to save the good parts), dyed, shaved down and then sewn back together to form a one of a kind piece!  I encourage you to go check them out!  The quality is fantastic and prices are untouchable!  Below is a photo of the display I did the for Pittsburgh store. And one of the little guys I picked up for under my kitchen sink. Let me know what you think after you've seen them in person!   -Greg      style="display:block"      data-ad-format="fluid"      data-ad-layout="text-only"      data-ad-layout-key="-gw-1+1v-3d-12"      data-ad-client="ca-pub-4537218573050932"      data-ad-slot="71...

our new house

On January 16th, 2018 Elliott and I became homeowners!   After 10 years in our condo it was time... we wanted more space, a yard and no HOA.   We were looking  for years but nothing was right.  A friend of mine made us aware that this house had a for-sale-by-owner sign and in the process found out that my dads co-worker was the owner... lucky for us he recently acquired it with the purchase of a different house (in order to get the house he wanted this house he had to purchase this house as part of the deal) and he wanted nothing to do with this one so we jumped at it!  as is. with no inspection. eek!   The house was built in 1910 and was vacant for 7 years before we got it.  Ive been wanting to document this process all along (which i do on instagram @: ggpiccini) but life happens and i get busy... We had to get our condo ready to hit the market (two mortgages is no fun), which we did (and it sold in 3 days!) and we had to get th...

christian chaize

I've admired these photos for years and have finally found the photographer! Christian Chaize, a self-taught French artist, lives and works in Lyon, France. For the past 20 years he has had a successful career in commercial photography. The photos are of a small stretch of coastline in southern Portugal. He became obsessed with it while vacationing there in 2004... (lucky for me) I would love one above my bed in a high-gloss white frame
