Industrial rooftop perch
A red-brick facade and bold street art set the tone for an energetic social scene centered on the rooftop pool deck.
“It doubles as an artistic hub, with rotating exhibitions in the lobby bar, a rainbow installation by local street artist Eric Rieger…”

In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Perched on Wythe Avenue in North Williamsburg, the hotel sits steps from McCarren Park, indie boutiques, and the East River Ferry.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows and private Juliette balconies frame city views, complemented by tufted leather headboards and blue subway tile bathrooms.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 40-foot heated outdoor pool looks out over the Manhattan skyline, bordered by wooden cabanas and loungers.
Gym and yoga
Rooftop yoga and breathwork sessions overlook Brooklyn, and a 24-hour gym provides strength equipment indoors.
Dogs stay too.
Lobby Bar at Sungold
The light-filled lounge serves daytime coffee at a curved brass bar and pours botanical spirits into the evening.
At the table
Sungold bakes wood-fired pizzas on the ground floor, and cocktails are poured inside the rooftop glass water tower.
How it began
Originally launched in 2017 as The Williamsburg Hotel, the eight-story brick-and-steel property was reimagined as an Arlo outpost in 2023.
