Book the William Vale starting at $332 per night
For the sophistication of Manhattan coupled with the trendy young vibe of Brooklyn, book the William Vale. Rooms with city views are stunning and groups can spread out in one-bedroom suites with separate living areas and huge terraces. The chic rooftop pool is the place to be in the summer, while Westlight, the hotel's rooftop bar and restaurant is a favorite among locals year-round. Fortunately, hotel guests are VIPs and can skip the line.
Off property, all the fun bars, restaurants, local coffee shops, and colorful murals found in Williamsburg are within easy walking distance.
Trip Advisor Ranking: 6 of 88
Booking.com Rating: 8.8 out of 10
Pros: Brooklyn, and Williamsburg, in particular, is a refreshing, hip alternative to Manhattan, and the city views from the rooms, pool, and rooftop bar are unbeatable.
Cons: Rooms are pricey and small. The pool is also open to non-guests for a day pass rate, which keeps it lively but also means its crowded and tough to get a good spot.
