Williamsburg hotel now open

LUXURY BOUTIQUE PROPERTY the Williamsburg has opened in north Brooklyn, New York. Located on the junction of Wythe Avenue and North Tenth Street, the hotel was designed by London-based firm Michaelis Boyd (behind the interiors of Soho House and Babington House), using brick, glass and Corten steel in a nod to the neighbourhood’s industrial history.

Inside, the 150-room hotel has a staircase that leads to a rooftop bar featuring installations by Minnesota-based street artist Eric Rieger. Later this year, a rooftop pool and three bars will open, including a private bar for guests and an underground lounge. The hotel also has its own tuk-tuk to take guests to the nearby L or G subway stops. thewilliamsburghotel.com
