Everything about The William Vale comes back to the views. They’re spectacular and practically unavoidable no matter where you are. When you step off the elevator on any floor, you’re met by a wall of solid glass and the sprawling expanse of Brooklyn. After walking down a short hallway to your room, you can relax on a private balcony overlooking the tiny, ant-like New Yorkers below (yes, every single room in the hotel has a balcony.) Furthermore, the hotel’s current main attraction, a rooftop bar called Westlight on the 22nd floor, offers a perspective on the New York skyline so staggering that it might make you do a double take.

Time Out tip: Just in case you somehow fail to appreciate it, the bar offers complimentary bright-yellow observation viewers.

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. The hotel is minutes from the Brooklyn Flea, less than half a mile from the nearest subway station, and just down the street from neighborhood staples Brooklyn Bowl and the Brooklyn Brewery. A true New Yorker walks for their exercise, but if you need a little more, a stay at the Wythe also earns you free admission to the Brooklyn Athletic Club.

Time Out tip: Friday evenings are for kicking back with a martini in hand at the cozy on-site bar Le Crocodile.

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. Up on the roof you’ll find cocktail bar "Creatures of all Kind," featuring fabulous views and a Bali-inspired menu. Extra bonus: It's indoor/outdoor, so you can enjoy a drink no matter the weather. Coda also boasts a large heated pool, which you can find it on the ground floor tucked behind the lobby.

More perks include: Free WiFi and a retail shop with items curated after Brooklyn. You can park on-site and even bring along your pet, both for an extra fee. If you end up seeing a piece of furniture you like, you can buy it from the hotel's Coda Studio and take it home to your place. 


Time Out tip: Learn how to eat a pie like a real New Yorker with Coda's Pizza Walk .

Modern, hip, and located close to major rail lines, this hotel is great for both business and leisure travelers alike who want a Williamsburg address without the traffic and noise. All rooms at The Condor feature kitchenettes with microwaves, coffeemakers, and refrigerators. Upgrading to one of their suites adds living and dining space, making the available extended stay options very attractive. Complimentary wifi and a garden patio make for a lovely office away from the office, and the free breakfast and regularly restocked refreshments in your room will make you feel right at home.

Time Out tip: If you need a good coffee stop on the way to Brooklyn Bridge, head to Beepublic. Grab the egg classic and a cold brew to go.

This self-proclaimed “luxury hostel” might perplex the mind at first, but its level of comfort and charm in East Williamsburg is difficult to argue with. The place is eclectic, eccentric, and affordable, with private rooms and shared dorms available. Interiors vary from room to room, but you can expect to find decorative touches like velvet sofas and subway graffiti. The guest kitchen is fully stocked, and the hostel offers free coffee or tea all day, which pairs well with free wifi. The Moore is located just enough off the beaten path to keep your nights quiet but is within walking distance of buzz-worthy food and drink options.

Time Out tip: If you're looking for some seriously delicious cheap eats head to II Mattone Tribeca. Slices start at $3.

Once you've laid eyes upon the Urban Cowboy, you'll be entirely unsurprised to discover they have a sister B&B in Nashville. An unassuming red door set into a wall of wood panels, with a horseshoe above it, beckons you from the street. Inside you'll be met with exposed brick, plush Native American-style furnishings, animal skulls, dreamcatchers, and a wood-burning stove. It's more of a cabin in the forest than a New York townhouse. Stay in one of five impeccably styled rooms – a Master Suite, Dreamcatcher, or the Shoot House annex – each with access to free wifi, breakfast and a hot tub in the yard.

Time Out tip: Dine like a local at Clay, a community-minded restaurant serving up a tasty menu made up of locally sourced ingredients.
