Hotel

The William Vale

Welcome to Williamsburg's hottest hotel! The William Vale's industrial-chic look is unmistakable in the Brooklyn skyline. DO NOT MISS a sunset cocktail at Westlight, the hotel's stunning rooftop bar (and Alex's favorite in the city) with 360-degree views. Normally we would recommend a great Italian meal at Leuca, but the restaurant will unfortunately be closed for renovation.

Hotel

The Williamsburg Hotel

Positioned two blocks southwest of The William Vale, The Williamsburg Hotel is most recognizable for its iconic Water Tower (now a gritty-on-the-outside, glam-on-the-inside bar). The Williamsburg is more quaint than The WV, but the two are priced comparably. If mid-May weather holds up (fingers crossed!), head to the rooftop for great poolside lounging and panoramic Manhattan views.

Hotel

Wythe Hotel

When you think "boutique" hotels in Brooklyn, look no further than the Wythe. This former factory space captures the spirit of Williamsburg and is located a stone's throw from the other three hotels (though as a "boutique" stay, it commands a higher price tag). As a guest, try snag a reservation at Le Crocodile.

Hotel

The Hoxton, Williamsburg

Of all the hotel options, The Hoxton is likely to be the most affordable. However - and these are two big howevers - 1) the hotel lobby is scheduled to undergo renovations during this time, which may make for a noisy stay, and 2) the rooms are very, very, small. Still, The Hoxton is just a few blocks from the other hotels and is an incredibly convenient option for exploring the area.

Flight

Airports: Choose LaGuardia!

Of NYC's various airports, LaGuardia is by far the closest to the wedding venue and all hotel options (20-30 minutes by cab/ Uber/ Lyft). Meanwhile, JFK is up to 45 minutes away by car, and Newark Liberty (in NJ) is nearly an hour away by car.
