Williamsburg Is Just The First Of Many 'Surprises' From King & Grove
Yes, we were already introduced to the Hotel Williamsburg four months ago, but since it's no longer called the Hotel Williamsburg, and will be undergoing several major changes over the next few months, it seems we'll have to get re-acquainted with this place all over again. And in the process...

Hotel Williamsburg Gets Re-Christened As King & Grove Williamsburg
In other (not so) surprising developments today, it looks like King & Grove have finally made a move on the third property in their rapidly-growing portfolio of US boutique hotels. Starting today—as in, right now—the Hotel Williamsburg will be known simply as King & Grove Williamsburg, with a bunch of...

Hotel Williamsburg's New Owners Shut Down Pillar & Plough
Boy, if we had a HotelChatter Award to give out for the most short-lived hotel restaurant, it would for sure go to Hotel Williamsburg's Pillar & Plough, which closed this week—after only two months of being open. Funny, because when we stopped by there recently to ask about the new...

King & Grove Swoops Down On Hotel Williamsburg As Well
Only two months after officially opening, the Hotel Williamsburg has been acquired by King & Grove, a new(-ish) boutique brand that's wasting no time getting its name on the hotel map. Just three days ago, it was announced they'd be taking over one of New York's most prized historic hotels,...

We like to keep it fun but informative here at HotelChatter so our newest series, What is This? is devoted to odd-looking items in hotel rooms that upon first glance look different from what they actually are. But a place for everything and everything in its place, right? A few...

Inside Pillar & Plough At Hotel Williamsburg
Hotel Williamsburg's ground-floor restaurant, Pillar & Plough, is officially open for business. And in case you were wondering why this is a big deal, we've gone and taken some interior shots of the 2,000-sq ft space—which has monstrously high ceilings (finally, the Brooklyn in this place is coming through), a...

Will Brooklyn Feel The Love From New York's Planned Hotel Room Boom?
It isn't gonna happen overnight. And we may not even start to feel the effects of Bloomberg's hotel boom until well after all 7,000 hotel rooms hit the market. Gradually, though, this big tourism industry push will have far-reaching effects on NYC's various neighborhoods. Above is an exterior shot of...

First Look Inside The Hotel Williamsburg
It's the beginning of the end: Williamsburg's first boutique hotel flung open its doors earlier last month on a quiet, park-facing street near the waterfront.

Williamsburg Gets A Pool, And It's Very, Very Pretty
Back when we started following the developing Hotel Williamsburg, we made an initial comparison to the neighborhood pool in McCarren Park. Well, we can officially say after visiting yesterday that the hotel's 40 foot long secluded oasis blows—so to speak—all competition out of the water. The condos and the hotel...

And Out Of Nowhere, The Hotel Williamsburg Has An Opening Date
It had been a while since we'd heard from our fine friends across the East River. Was it technical difficulties with the taco truck that pushed back the Hotel Williamsburg's opening so far? The river-facing hot spot has been making waves around the blogosphere for quite some time now, but...

Hotel Williamsburg Makes Us Wait Just A Little Longer
Heading to Brooklyn for Labor Day weekend? Here's one place you definitely should not count on staying at. The long-awaited Hotel Williamsburg, once scheduled for a June opening, was pushed back to August, and then September. Now, the official date is sometime in October. Do we believe them? Though we've...

Hotel Hopping On The East River
If you haven't already tried it, the East River Ferry is a great way to get around NYC—especially in the summer. For $4 a ride, you can zip between lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, and get to enjoy stunning views of the city while you're at it. But for...

Hotel Williamsburg Is Set For An Early August Opening, Plus A Taco Truck
Last we checked, the Hotel Williamsburg still had some work ahead of it. But we gave them the benefit of the doubt, and even placed The Watering Tower on our rooftops list. Now we wonder if it would really have been better off on next summer's list instead. The hotel...

First Look At the Hotel Williamsburg's New Uniforms
Here's your first look at the new uniforms for staffers at the Hotel Williamsburg, designed by Brooklyn Industries. When we speculated on the mystery duds last month, we admit, we were teasing just a little. But in true Brooklyn Industries fashion (the company logo is a water tower), the so-called...

Pool Rivalry At The New Hotel Williamsburg
Brooklyn's most over-saturated hipster 'hood is about to get its fix of the boutique hotel scene next month, when the Hotel Williamsburg makes its grand opening. Luckily for them, the competition is virtually nil. The question we have is, can this large-scale project live up to its hype? The...
