New York State, Brooklyn
The Hoxton Williamsburg

This British boutique brand (taking its name from the trendy London district) has expanded across the pond to an equally trendy area. Once the site of a water tower factory, this nine-storey new build takes design inspiration from its industrial heritage, with interiors by Ennismore. The restaurant is built around an old carriage house, with a square brass bar and huge glass wall opening out onto an alfresco courtyard dining area. Packed with quirky features, the hotel has 175 urban chic rooms divided into categories of ‘cosy’ or ‘roomy’. The rooftop restaurant and bar has a New England feel, while a lower terrace provides lighter meals (don’t miss their lobster rolls) to a backdrop of fairy lights, comfy loungers and ping pong tables. There’s no gym, but there is access to one nearby and The Hoxton has a fleet of vintage style bikes for guests’ use.
