Property Description
The hotel's history actually dates from the 19th century when it was owned by the Rockefellers and known as the Murray Hill Hotel. In 1973, the property was purchased by the Kitano Group and opened as the Hotel Kitano, the first Japanese owned hotel in New York City. A welcome gesture was made by Mayor Lindsay by presenting the “key to the city” to the hotel.
Mr. Kitano was instrumental in planning the reconstruction of the hotel and in developing the unique concepts of hospitality which have positioned The Kitano New York on the cutting edge of the city's hospitality industry. Its commitment to excellence, singular services and rare blend of the traditional East and modern West, make The Kitano New York the choice of the most distinguished traveler.
