Restored cooperage showcase
A 50-foot marquee neon sign marks this converted waterfront warehouse, where original brick and cast-iron columns host a spirited crowd.
“The original exposed bricks, arched windows and cast iron columns have all been preserved, while the reclaimed pine ceilings were used to make the beds.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Restored 1901 masonry walls, cast-iron columns, and custom beds crafted from the building's original reclaimed pine.
Notable
A 1901 sugar-refinery barrel cooperage turned boutique trailblazer, keeping its industrial framework intact.
Notable
Rooftop Bar Blondeau and ground-floor brasserie Le Crocodile draw locals and guests for cocktails and skyline views.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
Poured concrete floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, distressed brick walls and subway-tiled bathrooms strike just the right note.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set on Wythe Avenue in North Williamsburg, the hotel is steps from the East River waterfront, local breweries, and McCarren Park.
The rooms
Salvaged pine bedframes sit beneath 13-foot timber ceilings, with heated concrete floors, arched factory windows, and custom toile wallpaper.
Dogs stay too.
Bar Blondeau
A tiled bar and green velvet banquettes look over the East River, serving natural wines and seafood small plates.
The Wythe Hotel translates its 1901 barrel-factory heritage into a collection of 69 character-rich rooms that feel more like private artist lofts than anything else.
At the table
Ground-floor brasserie Le Crocodile serves French classics beneath timber beams and glowing globe chandeliers.
How it began
Built in 1901, the masonry structure originally operated as a cooperage making wooden barrels for Brooklyn's waterfront sugar refineries.
“The little details here stand out, including concrete floors with under-floor heating and the use of reclaimed wood (from the former factory) in the ceilings.”
