Wythe Hotel

Industrial icon

Setting

Williamsburg waterfront

Wythe Hotel is a Williamsburg wonder: a century-old factory stripped back to its bare bricks and cast-iron columns, with a rooftop cocktail bar staring at the world’s most famous skyline. The laid-back locals will join you for French fare at Le Crocodile – and then you can join them at vintage markets, craft breweries and warehouse parties in New York’s hippest ‘hood. In the rustic-industrial rooms you’ll find heated concrete floors, reclaimed timber ceilings, and Flavor Paper wallpaper riffing off Brooklyn’s landmark water towers.

More Details

Also

When the factory was built as a cooperage in 1901, Williamsburg was a global hub for sugar production – you can still see the iconic Domino Sugar Refinery along the river. In later, pre-hotel years, the Wythe was a textile warehouse.

Hotel Restaurant

Le Crocodile is a neighborhood brasserie serving earnest French fare in a room inspired by classic New York spots like Odeon and Balthazar, from chef Aidan O'Neal (of the beloved Chez Ma Tante).

Hotel Bar

Say bonjour to Bar Blondeau, Wythe’s sultry sixth-floor cocktail bar serving natural wines and classic cocktails. The French-style modern interiors look out to unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline, making it a special spot for a sundowner.

Last Orders

Le Crocodile is open from 7am to 11pm; Bar Blondeau is open from 5pm to midnight, 1am on Friday and Saturday.

Room Service

Order from Le Crocodile straight to your door from 7am to 11pm. After hours, the minibar will do for emergencies.

Planes

The closest airport is LaGuardia (seven miles away, which is 30 minutes in a cab), but most international flights land at JFK (13 miles and a one-hour drive away). The hotel can arrange for a private car to pick you up at the airport; it costs $96 from LaGuardia or $108 from JFK, including tip. If you’re arriving on a domestic flight, it’s $72 from LGA and $84 from JFK. Call the Smith24 team for help with all your travel.

Trains

It’s an eight-minute walk to the nearest subway station at Bedford Avenue; that’ll put you on the L train, next stop Manhattan. For travelling in and out of the city, head to Penn Station or Grand Central Terminal.

Automobiles

With round-the-clock public transport and zillions of taxis, there’s no need for a car in NYC. If you have to bring one, you can park it on the streets around the hotel, or at Icon Parking nearby.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Wake up and marvel at the mystery of Manhattan across the water, then throw yourself into it. The L train (on the subway) takes you into Union Square in eight minutes, and from there the city is your oyster. Or, catch the East River ferry from the dock down below; it zips under the Brooklyn Bridge on its way to Wall Street and Downtown. Back at the hotel, hit Bar Blondeau for rooftop cocktails, or book out a the in-house Screening Room for a private movie night.

If you’re in town on a summer Saturday, join the rest of Brooklyn at open-air food market Smorgasburg (East River State Park), which showcases the latest and greatest street food innovations – it’s jam-packed, but then so are the artisan donuts. On the Williamsburg shopping scene, Upstate Stock (2 Berry Street) and Concrete + Water (485 Driggs Avenue) are cult fashion boutiques, and The Mini Mall (218 Bedford Avenue) is the old-school go-to for secondhand books and vintage clothes. The City Reliquary museum (370 Metropolitan Avenue) houses NYC curios and oddball artifacts. At night, book an alley at Brooklyn Bowl (opposite the Wythe) or join the locals for a game down in dive-bar The Gutter (North 14th Street).

Brooklyn Brewery has been hard at work in a converted Williamsburg factory since 1996, and it was one of the very first hipster-craft-beer kids on the block. It’s a must-do just across the road from the hotel, with tours and tastings throughout the day.
