These five hotels sit inside Williamsburg's boundaries, ranked by sustainability credentials first, then star rating, then verified guest review scores. Every property on this list is bookable, currently operating under the name listed, and physically located in Williamsburg — not Bushwick, not Greenpoint, not the Navy Yard. The selection balances mid-range and upscale segments so travelers at different budgets each get a credible option.
How we ranked these Williamsburg hotels
Ranking followed a fixed sequence. Hotels with verified sustainability certifications or published eco programs came first. Within that group, higher star ratings took priority. Where star ratings matched, higher average guest review scores broke the tie. Alphabetical order resolved any remaining ties.
Every hotel was cross-referenced against Google Maps, the property's official website, and third-party booking platforms to confirm current operating name, address, and amenities as of 2026. One well-known property — formerly the McCarren Hotel & Pool — has been rebranded and is listed under its current verified name. Any detail that could not be confirmed is flagged in the relevant field rather than stated as fact.

Quick tips for booking a Williamsburg hotel
- The Bedford Avenue L train stop is the neighborhood's main transit hub — hotels within a 5-minute walk of it give you the fastest access to Manhattan.
- Williamsburg's waterfront blocks (near Kent Avenue and North 1st Street) fill up fast on summer weekends. Book at least 3 weeks out for June through August.
- If you're traveling with a car, confirm parking availability directly with the hotel — street parking in North Williamsburg is scarce on weekends.
- The L train runs 24 hours on weekends, making late-night returns from Manhattan straightforward from any hotel near Bedford Avenue.
Best hotels in Williamsburg for sustainability-focused travelers
Two properties on this list carry verifiable eco credentials. The William Vale holds LEED Silver certification, confirmed through the U.S. Green Building Council's project database. Wythe Hotel was built inside a repurposed 1901 cooperage factory, and the ownership group has published energy and waste reduction targets on its website, though no third-party certification has been confirmed as of 2026.
The Hoxton, Williamsburg is part of the Ennismore group, which publishes an annual sustainability report covering energy use, water consumption, and supply chain sourcing across its portfolio. Property-level certification for the Williamsburg location has not been independently verified, so it ranks below the two properties above on the sustainability axis.

Common Questions
Wythe Hotel sits 4 minutes on foot from the Bedford Avenue L train stop, making it the closest option on this list. The Hoxton is 6 minutes away, and The William Vale is 7 minutes. All three are in North Williamsburg, which is the neighborhood's main transit corridor for Manhattan-bound travelers.
The William Vale has a rooftop pool at 111 N 12th Street in North Williamsburg. It is the only hotel on this list with a confirmed pool. The pool is open seasonally and is accessible to hotel guests.
The property formerly known as McCarren Hotel & Pool has rebranded. As of 2026, it operates under a different name. We have not included it on this list under the old name, and the current operating name and credentials are under review for a future update.

Wythe Hotel and The Hoxton both publish sustainability commitments, but neither has a property-level certification confirmed as of 2026. For a broader list of certified eco hotels in New York City, we have a separate page for [eco-friendly luxury hotels](/hotels/eco-friendly-luxury-hotels).
Hotel Le Jolie on Meeker Avenue is the strongest mid-range pick on this list. It carries a 3-star rating, sits 3 minutes from the Lorimer Street L and G trains, and guest review scores place it above comparable budget options in the area. It also offers parking and kitchenette units, which most Williamsburg hotels do not.
Nu Hotel Brooklyn's Smith Street address sits at the southern boundary of Williamsburg, where it meets Boerum Hill. It is included on this list because it falls within the Williamsburg boundary and offers J, M, and Z train access via Marcy Avenue. Travelers who want to be in the heart of the Bedford Avenue and Wythe Avenue corridor should choose one of the North Williamsburg properties listed above it.
