The Penny Hotel in Williamsburg combines stylish comfort with a rooftop bar and welcoming vibes, making it a cozy retreat for urban explorers and pet lovers alike.
"Set slightly away from Brooklyn’s hotel row, Penny is the place for all the cool kids—the welcoming, kind ones full of energy and smiles. Expect bold design, excellent service, and a fresh dining scene with coveted outdoor space. The property has 117 rooms and an incredible 700 square-foot suite with an outrageously generous private terrace, all offering complimentary in-room pour over coffee, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary bikes to pedal around town. Drawing a crowd that's vacationers and locals alike, you’ll find a younger demographic of artists, creatives, and New Yorkers looking to escape for a few days from the city hustle, or snag an expert cocktail on the hotel’s rooftop where you can take in incredible skyline views."
"Two cool marble counters stretch the length of the bar and kitchen and run parallel to mounds of ice stacked with bottles of Champagne and crisp white wines. The food is no less refreshing, celebrating mostly pristine seafood expertly sourced and astutely dressed and seasoned. Think razor clams with giardiniera, stuffed squid with fiery harissa, and wax beans dusted in katsuobushi. Dover sole set in an excellent bordelaise would satisfy a meatier appetite, but then again, how about just another round of freshly shucked oysters or maybe a vanilla bean and passionfruit ice cream sandwich? A small number of reservations are available, but most seats are reserved for walk-ins, so arrive early just before doors open." - Michelin Inspector
"Located in the heart of Williamsburg, right off the Metropolitan/Lorimer subway stop and two blocks from vibrant Bedford Avenue, Penny Williamsburg is steps away from the neighborhood’s centers of action."
"New Brooklyn hotel offering 25 percent off stays of at least three nights." - Lyndsey Matthews, Michelle Baran
"Penny Williamsburg is a hybrid hotel and housing for graduate students. The 118 guest rooms are stylish and comfortable, featuring exposed concrete ceilings, hardwood floors, and plush settees and armchairs. The hotel is located on a quiet side street in Williamsburg, with a short walk to several excellent bars and restaurants. The in-house rooftop bar and restaurant, ElNico, offers panoramic views of the Williamsburg and Manhattan skylines." - Lyndsey Matthews
