Wythe Hotel

The Wythe Hotel may not have been the first boutique hotel in Williamsburg, but it was the first to successfully tap into the illusive trendy factor of the area. A 1901 cooperage close to the water has a three-story glass-and-aluminum extension on top of it. On its exterior, an artist named Tom Fruin (of Watertower fame) fashioned a 50-foot-tall "HOTEL" sign out of salvaged tin signs that transforms into a neon-lit beacon at night.

The Manhattan skyline may be seen from floor-to-ceiling windows in several of the guest rooms, or they look out onto a hip Steve Powers graffiti mural that recreates old Brooklyn advertising. In contrast to the completely plugged-in technology, heated concrete floors, exposed brick, reclaimed-timber beds, and clever custom wallpaper (such as the Wythe Toile, inspired by local street scenes) create a rustic-industrial vibe: Your iPhone may be converted into a surround-sound music system using a cord by the bed. The functional restrooms' utilitarian subway-tiled walls are covered with beautiful Turkish towels and environmentally responsible Goldies products made by a former employee of the Diner.
