Every hotel on this list sits inside Williamsburg proper, ranked by sustainability credentials first, then star rating, then verified guest review scores. The selection covers at least one mid-range and one upscale option, and every property is confirmed operating under its current name as of 2026. If a hotel has rebranded or closed, we note it rather than quietly swapping in a replacement.
How we ranked these Williamsburg hotels
Sustainability certification came first. Hotels holding a verified credential — LEED, Green Key, or an equivalent third-party program — rank above those without one, all else equal. Within the same sustainability tier, higher star ratings win. Where star ratings match, higher average guest review scores break the tie. Alphabetical order resolves any remaining draws.
Location mattered too. Every hotel had to sit inside Williamsburg's geographic boundaries, not in Greenpoint, Bushwick, or the Navy Yard area. We cross-referenced addresses against Google Maps, each hotel's own booking pages, and at least one independent travel source before confirming inclusion.

Quick tips before you book in Williamsburg
- The L train runs along Bedford Avenue and connects Williamsburg to Manhattan's 14th Street in about 10 minutes — it's the fastest route into the city from most of these hotels.
- Weekend rates spike on Friday and Saturday nights, especially in summer. Booking Tuesday through Thursday arrivals can cut costs by 20–30%.
- Williamsburg's main dining and bar strip runs along Bedford Avenue between North 4th and North 10th Streets — all five hotels sit within a 10-minute walk of it.
- If you're driving, confirm parking costs before arrival. Street parking in North Williamsburg is scarce on weekends, and hotel garage rates can reach $60 per night.
Best hotels in Williamsburg for different traveler types
Travelers who want a rooftop pool and skyline views of Manhattan get the most from The William Vale. The pool deck faces west across the East River, and the hotel's position on Wythe Avenue puts you two blocks from the Bedford Avenue L train.
Guests who want a converted industrial building with original 1901 details — exposed brick, Douglas fir floors, and windows that actually open — should look at Wythe Hotel. The building was a cooperage before its conversion, and the bones show throughout.
Hotel Indigo Williamsburg suits travelers who want a loyalty program (IHG One Rewards) and a verified eco program without paying upscale rates. It sits on Broadway near the Marcy Avenue J/M/Z stop, which gives you direct access to Lower Manhattan and Midtown without transferring.
The Hoxton, Williamsburg works well for remote workers and longer stays. The lobby functions as a co-working space during the day, and the ground-floor restaurant, Laser Wolf, draws a crowd that makes the common areas feel worth using.
Nu Hotel Brooklyn is the most affordable option on this list and sits closest to the Marcy Avenue station, making it a practical base for travelers who plan to spend most of their time exploring the city rather than the hotel.

FAQs
Common Questions
The L train at Bedford Avenue is the main artery for North Williamsburg hotels, connecting to Manhattan's 14th Street in about 10 minutes. South Williamsburg hotels sit closer to the J, M, and Z trains at Marcy Avenue, which run to Lower Manhattan and Midtown without requiring a transfer. Most hotels on this list sit within a 4 to 7 minute walk of one of these two stations.
No LEED-certified hotels in Williamsburg appear in the U.S. Green Building Council's public directory as of 2026. Hotel Indigo Williamsburg participates in IHG's Green Engage program, which is the closest verified eco credential among hotels in the neighborhood. If a LEED property opens or certifies after this page's last update, we'll reflect that in the next revision.
North Williamsburg, along Wythe Avenue and Bedford Avenue between North 4th and North 12th Streets, puts you closest to the neighborhood's main restaurants, bars, and the East River waterfront. South Williamsburg, near Grand Street and Broadway, gives you faster access to the J, M, and Z trains and tends to have lower hotel rates. Both areas are walkable and well-served by transit.
The property at 160 North 12th Street in Williamsburg previously operated as McCarren Hotel & Pool. As of 2026, that name and brand could not be confirmed as still active. We excluded the property from this list rather than include it under a name we could not verify. If you're looking for hotels near McCarren Park, The William Vale at 111 North 12th Street is a confirmed operating option two blocks away.
The Bedford Avenue L train station puts you at 14th Street and 8th Avenue in Manhattan in roughly 10 minutes. The Williamsburg Bridge is also walkable or bikeable, with a dedicated pedestrian and cycling path that deposits you at Delancey Street on the Lower East Side in about 20 minutes on foot.
The William Vale at 111 North 12th Street is the only hotel on this confirmed list with on-site parking and EV charging. Street parking in North Williamsburg is scarce on weekends, so driving guests should budget for the hotel garage rather than relying on finding a spot nearby.
