"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
"Opened in spring 2023 as a hybrid hotel and graduate-student housing, this art-forward bolthole offers 118 stylish rooms ranging from compact Queens to a 700-square-foot Majesty suite (which can connect to an adjacent room) with a soaking tub, private terrace, and kitchen. Interiors favor exposed concrete ceilings, hardwood floors, farmhouse sinks, plush seating, Bellino linens, Strand-curated books, and in-room pour-over coffee made with Devoción beans; greenery by a local landscape studio features throughout. The in-house rooftop restaurant and bar serves inventive, Instagram-ready plates from chef Fernanda Serrano—think vegan pink mole with beet and tahini, tlayuda with tzatziki and pomegranate, and fried oyster tacos—while panoramic views of the Williamsburg and Manhattan skylines and proximity to neighborhood favorites like The Four Horsemen, Llama Inn, Fette Sau, and Bonnie’s make it a convenient base for exploring the area." - Lyndsey Matthews
