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. Though we initially had assumed Brooklyn would allow for significantly more square footage than, say, an equivalent hotel in Manhattan, we might have been proved wrong.

But all is not lost: the hotel's prime location has already begun attracting tourists and film crews alike (The Good Wife, a Vogue fashion shoot, and an unnamed MTV pilot, have all shot here). And if it weren't for the taco truck (it will eventually be installed next to the pool and bi-level art gallery (opening date still TBD), we wouldn't be nearly so excited about the public spaces here. Most of all, we can't wait for the opening of Pillar & Plough, the hotel's farm-to-fork eatery, next week.
