“A trendy new hotel in Brooklyn's uber cool Williamsburg neighbourhood. The ultra modern building is matched by sleek futuristic interiors, floor to ceiling windows and white on white tones. The food is curated by two of the city's top chefs and the rooftop draws a crowd on a Saturday night.”

Hotel review

Start with the view: from floor-to-ceiling windows and wraparound balconies, The William Vale delivers some of the most spectacular panoramas in New York. Twinkling city lights at night and sunrise over the East River in the morning are purely unforgettable. And yet, the hotel’s Italian jewel, Leuca, is tucked in what feels like a basement. The food, changing with the seasons is sublime - order Andrew Carmellini’s smoky ricotta agnolotti, black shell pasta with ruby shrimp and local calamari, and salted caramel gelato.

Westlight, the rooftop bar, finally lets you drink in the view, though it’s strictly 21+, and the (gorgeous) rooftop pool enforces a no-teen policy from noon, so family stays can be tricky. Summer sun, winter barrel saunas, cedar hot tubs, and Little Fino cafe’s free hot toddies deliver seasonal joy. Sleek rooms and thoughtful coworking spaces abound, and while reception doesn’t match true 5-star standards, it’s the views - and food - you’ll remember.
