The William Vale is in uber-cool Williamsburg. This modern hotel has sleek, futuristic interiors and floor to ceiling windows. The rooftop pool is New York’s largest, and the hip bar draws crowds. To top it off, the restaurant menu is prepared by two of the city’s top chefs.
The Hoxton Williamsburg is the first US outpost of boutique British hotel group the Hoxton. True to the brand's industrial-chic identity, the hotel occupies the site of a former watch factory, referenced in the guestrooms' brass fittings and skyline views.
