Brooklyn continues to be the 'happening place' in New York City with new restaurants, galleries, bars, music venues and spectacular hotels. Among the best is the new Wythe Hotel along the waterfront in the Williamsburg section of the borough. A renovated 1901 old factory has been turned into a 70 room hotel.
Many of the rooms have extraordinary views of the Manhattan skyline. The bar on the roof has become a favorite with many Brooklynites! Here is how the team running the hotel describes itself:
Located in the heart of Brooklyn, Wythe Hotel is an 8-story hotel on the Williamsburg waterfront. Built in 1901, this former textile factory has been meticulously converted into a 72-room hotel offering service and amenities yet to be seen in the borough, while the building’s industrial character – like its concave corner entrance, original pine beams, masonry, arched windows and cast-iron columns – has been beautifully preserved. Renowned Brooklyn restaurateur Andrew Tarlow, of Marlow & Sons, Diner, and Roman’s, manages the hotel’s expansive food and beverage program. Venues include Reynards - a ground floor restaurant and bar with a wood-fired oven and grill, courtyard seating, and a daily menu featuring market-driven American fare and seasonal cocktails, and Ides - a 6th floor bar and terrace with stunning Manhattan and Brooklyn views. There are various event space as well, including a main event hall, a private dining room, large guest lofts and 60-seat screening room and bar. Throughout the hotel, guest rooms feature 13’ high original timber ceilings, oversized windows, radiant heat concrete floors, seasonally sourced mini-bar offerings, custom amenities and works by local artists. Many rooms, including band rooms, bunk rooms and suites, boast floor-to-ceiling views of the Manhattan skyline and East River.
