Wythe Hotel, New York

Situated in Brookyln’s hip Williamsburg neighbourhood, just a short subway ride from Manhattan, the Wythe Hotel allures with its buzzing rooftop bar, superb restaurant and well designed, high-ceilinged guestrooms.

Occupying a restored, century-old factory building on the waterfront, the industrial-style Wythe Hotel puts you at the heart of the area’s bars, vintage markets, craft breweries and restaurants. Rooms are well-sized and filled with natural light, strewn with locally made custom furniture, kitted out with surround sound systems and lined with reclaimed timber ceilings and heated concrete floors. Exposed brick walls, cast-iron columns and arched factory windows add to the industrial-chic aesthetic. Opt for a Manhattan View King room for the best views or the South 8th Loft for your own private rooftop terrace.

The ground floor brasserie restaurant, Le Crocodile, serves delicious French fare inspired by the distinct culinary traditions of the borough. Meanwhile, the exquisite Lemon’s rooftop bar on the 6th floor captivates with its fabulous views of New York’s iconic skyline. The terrace is the ideal setting for an alfresco cocktail in the summer months.
