When planning a trip to New York City, many travelers only think of looking for hotels in Manhattan. But if you head across the East River, you have The William Vale Hotel, a dog-friendly luxury hotel. Nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, it offers an unforgettable luxurious NYC experience with the best view of the New York City skyline.
The William Vale’s prime location in Williamsburg provides easy access to Manhattan while offering a more laid-back atmosphere.
The hotel itself is a modern architectural marvel, boasting sleek design, stunning views, and top-notch amenities. With spacious rooms featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, you’ll wake up to panoramic views of the iconic Manhattan skyline and the vibrant streets of Brooklyn.
With enticing amenities like a seasonal outdoor pool, the rooftop bar Westlight, a seasonal rooftop ice-skating rink, and the Italian Restaurant Leuca, The William Vale ensures a stay you won’t soon forget.
Modern Luxury Accommodations and Amenities
Each of the 183 rooms features floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony, offering stunning city views. We stayed at the Gotham Corner Suite with a wrapped-around balcony, which offered an iconic view of the Manhattan skyline. The floor-to-ceiling suite came equipped with a Lavazza Coffee Machine, Le Labo bath products, luxurious Bellino linens, and my favorite – an oversized bathtub.
Dog-Friendly Paradise
For those traveling with furry companions, The William Vale is a haven. The hotel is pet-friendly and goes above and beyond to cater to your four-legged friends. From plush dog beds, to gourmet treats, your pup will feel just as pampered as you are. Plus, the nearby parks, such as McCarren Park, and dog-friendly cafes, make Williamsburg an ideal destination for dog parents.
The William Vale allows two pets up to 50 lbs for no additional fee.
