FOR A HOTEL STAY THAT LIVES AND BREATHES BROOKLYN’S INDUSTRIAL PAST…
Wythe Hotel is one the highest regarded stays in the city, as history lovers are attracted to the hotel’s riveting lineage. Located in the heart of Williamsburg, the original building was first opened as a cooperage in 1901, manufacturing barrels for the borough’s thriving sugar refining industry.
Following its evolution into a textile factory throughout the 20th century, the building was eventually converted into a hotel in 2008. The hoteliers and architects worked hard to preserve as much of the original craftmanship as possible, so that structure wouldn’t lose any of its rustic charm.
With a vast range of rooms spanning 200 to 1,350 square feet, the spaces ooze industrial chic, with high wood panelled ceilings that provide a glimpse into the hotel’s history and vast windows letting in the brilliant Manhattan skyline. It is no wonder that guests of this magnificent boutique hotel always leave well rested and wanting more.
