The William Vale

"An indulgent pairing of outdoor sauna and hot tub with views of the Manhattan skyline in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Offers a private experience with cozy robes and luxe amenities."

"Its distinctive white criss-crossing exterior can be seen from Lower Manhattan, but The William Vale, in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, also makes an impression when seen up close. Each of the hotel’s 183 guest rooms has balconies, most with views looking over the East River and at the Manhattan skyline. The decor is light, airy, and of-the-moment with hardwood floors, glass-enclosed showers, patterned rugs and curated coffee table books from Phaidon. The hotel also has its own elevated public park, a 60-foot outdoor pool (known as the longest outdoor hotel pool in NYC), and two restaurants from famed chef Andrew Carmellini: Southern Italian-inspired Leuca and rooftop bar Westlight (complete with 360-degree city views)."

"A five-star Williamsburg high-rise offering pool access on the fourth-floor deck through ResortPass, allowing non-overnight guests to enjoy amenities."

"Grab a daypass (it’s open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.) if you’re not staying overnight at the hotel, with rates starting at $160. The venue, located on the hotel’s fourth floor outdoor terrace, offers views of Manhattan and food from Andrew Carmellini and Noho Hospitality Group. It’s a heated pool that’s keen on keeping the space uncrowded and serene. To eat, there’s watermelon salad, coconut shrimp, and smoked chicken tacos." - Eater Staff

"The William Vale hotel is arguably Brooklyn’s ritziest and highest end boutique hotel. Located a block away from Williamsburg’s waterfront, the high-rise offers prime skyline views."
