We described 42 Hotel Williamsburg as ‘pretty nondescript from the outside,’ and ‘kind of a big brown box with windows.’ Not exactly fulsome praise then but we still love this Brooklyn boutique hotel. Because inside the mood shifts greatly. Dark tones, brass details, concrete surfaces and carefully placed lighting create a unique post-industrial aesthetic that somehow feels warm and friendly. The 60 rooms pair black, white and gold accents with large windows, modern tech and practical comforts. We’d particularly recommend the Superior Rooms for the extra space and broader Williamsburg… > Read Our Full Review
The Wythe Hotel is one of Williamsburg’s most well known boutique hotels. It’s housed in a converted 1900s barrel factory — one of New York’s last masonry-and-timber buildings, and still showcases lots of exposed brick, steel, and original architecture. Rooms are high-ceilinged and light-filled, with large factory windows that showcase Brooklyn or Manhattan views. Food & drink venues include Bar Blondeau on the sixth floor, which has the full on Manhattan skyline out its windows, and the cocktails to go with it. Le Crocodile then is at ground level.

The Henry Norman Hotel is a Brooklyn boutique hotel set inside a 19th-century era red-brick factory in Greenpoint, where the edge of Newtown Creek meets a quieter, more local side of the city. We like how the hotel, in true Brooklyn style, still kinda thinks it’s a warehouse at heart, with high ceilings, hardwood floors and loft-like proportions that give even smaller suites a greater sense of space. It’s suites-only by the way, and that nudges things closer to NYC apartment living than traditional hotel. The larger lofts and penthouses,… > Read Our Full Review
Sitting directly on the Brooklyn Heights waterfront, with Brooklyn Bridge Park quite literally outside the door, 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge sure has quite the scenic location, with the skyscrapers of Manhattan constantly on view. The interiors are spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows pulling the view into nearly every corner. Natural materials: pale wood, concrete and live edge furniture keep things grounded. The rooftop pool and Harriet’s Lounge are real focal points, especially at sunset, Neighbors Cafe and Barbuto bring farm-to-table dining and their Bamford Spa, and yoga sessions add a wellness… > Read Our Full Review
The Box House Hotel, Greenpoint is another post-industrial-chic Brooklyn boutique hotel, set inside, wouldn’t you know it, a converted factory. The interior design is straightforward enough, but you’ve got all the exposed brick, concrete and metalwork you might desire for your Brooklyn hotel experience. Rooms have an apartment like character with hardwood floors and colorful, eclectic furnishings that soften a bit the warehouse edges. Many spaces extend into one-bedroom suites or penthouses with kitchens and balconies, making it especially practical for longer stays. The on-site Brooklyn Lantern Restaurant serves quality… > Read Our Full Review
The Hoxton, Williamsburg by the East River combines the neighbourhood’s raw industrial heritage with more gentle, modern design. Stone, steel and expansive windows are balanced by natural woods, greenery and welcoming looking communal spaces that attract locals as well as guests. The Hoxton is pretty much woven into Williamsburg neighborhood life. Just as any good hotel should be. We particularly like the rooftop skewer house, where charcoal-grilled dishes and cocktails are served alongside Manhattan panoramas. Rooms are compact, this is NYC after all, but cleverly designed and with floor-to-ceiling windows,… > Read Our Full Review
The Hoxton Williamsburg doesn’t fit in too well into brownstone or converted factory Brooklyn. It’s modern, colorful and quirky, and packs in plenty of playful, contemporary energy. Its 118 compact rooms have a New York studio feel: bright interiors, smart layouts and kitchenettes. It’s not about scale here, and the rooms under 250 square feet are a reminder of that, but the rooftop and shared spaces are central to the hotel experience. El Nico, the rooftop restaurant, brings Mexican-inspired plates and agave cocktails alongside Manhattan views, while the hotel’s collaboration… > Read Our Full Review
