🌃 Here are the best hotels across New York City right now

💎 Best for: excellent food, right on your doorstep—literally

Since opening in 2018, The Hoxton, Williamsburg has made serious waves in the Brooklyn hospitality scene. Situated near the waterfront in the bleeding heart of NYC’s trendiest neighborhood, this London-based boutique brand masterfully integrates industrial history by incorporating a historic brick water tower factory structure into its design.

The hotel features 175 compact city rooms. While they are on the smaller side, high ceilings, midcentury modern furniture, and floor-to-ceiling windows keep them from feeling claustrophobic. If you’ve got the cash, upgrade to a Manhattan View room for ample extra space. 

The real draw are the strong on-site dining options in the form of K’Far and Laser Wolf. Surrounded by trendy boutiques and local parks, and just a ten-minute walk to the L train, it is an extremely stylish, convenient choice for your next stay.

Time Out tip: Fancy a wacky night out? Brooklyn Bowl is two blocks away. 

Address: 97 Wythe Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11249

🌃 These are New York City’s best boutique hotels

💎 Best for: affordable convenience 

For a not-too-expensive, lively, and conveniently located Brooklyn stay, Moxy Brooklyn Williamsburg hits the mark. Marriott’s youthful, party-oriented boutique hotel offers a sleek, work-friendly lobby as well as plenty of energy in the evenings, including at the seasonal rooftop lounge Lillistar and the basement nightclub Jolene Sound Room.

The 216 rooms feature a sharp industrial design. While compact, they maximize space with retractable hooks and fold-down desks, though the tight bathroom layout sacrifices privacy a little. Street traffic and nightlife generate noticeable city noise, but the staff readily provides earplugs.

The real draw is value and location. Situated right by the Williamsburg Bridge, the hotel offers quick access to Manhattan via the J, M, and L trains. It also puts legendary neighborhood dining like Peter Luger and L’Industrie Pizzeria within short walking distance.

Time Out tip: Fancy a game of pickleball? Why not. There’s a court out back. 

Address: 353 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211
Price per night: Starting at $261 per night.
Nearest transport: Near the J, M and L lines

In true Brooklyn style, The Wythe occupies a refurbished factory a block from the waterfront, meaning you’ll get epic views of Manhattan from here. Rooms vary from plush lofts to more intimate bunk bed-style rooms, but all retain that in-vogue industrial chic design, with exposed brick and the pine rafters in their 13-foot ceilings. Plus, the floors are heated concrete. Every room features surround sound that can be controlled with your cell phone, and free wifi to boot. The Wythe offers a French restaurant called Le Crocodile, as well as Bar Blondeau on the roof.

Just blocks from the subway and ferries, this hotel offers abundant views of McCarren Park through the glass-walled facade. The lobby interior oozes retro cool, almost to the point of Mad Men levels, with bright colors and bold patterns. The rooms are more modern and subdued with dark wood and make great use of some of the more limited floor plans. Coda also boasts a large heated outdoor pool (New York City's largest, in fact) where you can order poolside drinks and bag yourself a lounger or two. You can park on-site and even bring along your pet, both for an extra fee.
