In its cult favorite hotels throughout Europe, The Hoxton’s mission is “to provide a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighborhood” (per its website). Later this year, it brings that mindset to the United States for the first time with The Hoxton Williamsburg, a 175-room hotel on the former site of the Rosenwach water tank factory at 97 Wythe Street.
Now, new renderings of the rooms, restaurants, and public spaces have been released and recent shots of its construction progress can be found here at Brooklyn Eagle.

At ground level, a bar and lobby will incorporate a private outdoor courtyard. Upstairs, a rooftop bar and restaurant with Manhattan views promises to attract guests and locals alike. Menus will be crafted by area chefs and operators to include both dishes unique to the neighborhood and Hoxton classics. Additional amenities include an external second-floor terrace and The Apartment, a meetings and event space that will also host the hotel’s curated events series with creative locals.
Sharan Pasricha, founder and CEO of developer Ennismore, said in an interview with Observer that with Hoxton hotels, “everything is informed by either the building we’re in or the neighborhood.” In Williamsburg, the rooms alone are proof of that: Locally sourced ceramics and locally curated books add character, and the beds are covered in bespoke linens by Brooklyn-based Dusen Dusen.
“Williamsburg has an industrial past and a creative present.” – Sharan Pasricha
The Hoxton Williamsburg is the latest in a hospitality boom that has recently taken hold in the heart of Williamsburg’s hottest dining and nightlife. Wythe Hotel led the charge in 2012, and the William Vale Hotel and Williamsburg Hotel followed in 2016 and 2017, respectively. The Hoxton Williamsburg is five blocks away from the Bedford Avenue subway stop, but the impending L train shutdown should not be a problem: The North Williamsburg ferry stop is a short walk away.
