Holiday Inn Brooklyn Downtown, an IHG Hotel

Travel Note

How Do I Get Around Brooklyn?

For ease of use, we'd recommend downloading the Uber or Lyft on-demand taxi apps for your smartphone or calling a cab. It's also only an 8 minute walk from The Williamsburg Hotel to The Brooklyn Winery, and you will see cafes, bars, and restaurants are all within walking distance as well. You can also have your hotel call you a cab, which all take cash or card. Please remember to wear your mask.

Travel Note

Okay, But How Do I Get To NYC?

Touché. For those of you coming from out of town, there's a few options. Flying | You can fly into LaGuardia or JFK Airports and easily access Williamsburg. From LaGuardia, we recommend a cab, but if you're into buses, contact us and we'll guide you! From JFK, cabs are easy, but you can also take the AirTrain connecting to the subway. Follow signs to the AirTrain in Terminal 4. Take the AirTrain to Howard Beach A to Broadway Junction, transfer to the L toward 8th Ave/Manhattan, and take the L to Bedford Ave. Driving | Two good ways to get in: from the South, taking the Holland Tunnel straight across Manhattan to the Williamsburg Bridge, or from the North, taking I-278 and skipping most of Manhattan. There is on the street parking, but no garage at the hotel. There's a nearby parking garage at iPark 247 N 7th Street (https://ipark.com/garage/247-north-7th-street-parking-corp/).
