When you think of Williamsburg, New York, you probably think of chic boutiques, art galleries, and great nightlife. With the all-present cool vibe, the Williamsburg Hotel lives and breathes the atmosphere of Brooklyn’s hip neighborhood. This place is a great start if you want to fully emerge yourself in the crazy ride that is New York.

The location of this hotel is everything. Roll out of bed and find the hippest bars, the swankiest restaurants, and the most fashionable clubs within steps of your front door. The Brooklyn Brewery is only 2 minutes walk away and not to be missed if you’re a craft beer enthusiast (and who isn’t?). If you want to venture out on more exploring, Manhattan is just across the river, and there is a subway station around the corner. For those who travel in style or not at all, the hotel offers a rather unusual tuk-tuk transfer.

Now about the rooms. The Williamsburg Hotel is a thing of beauty encased in brick, glass, and steel (+10 points to the hip factor). Each room has floor-to-ceiling windows with envy-inducing views, features custom furnishing, and is pet-friendly! This place is as chic as it gets with brass and marble bathrooms, leather headboards, and velvet armchairs.

For more of the good stuff, head up to the rooftop bar and enjoy the famous New York City skyline with a signature cocktail. A rooftop pool is scheduled to open this summer, so there has never been a better time to book a city break in New York!
