Editorial take
Who should book The Hoxton, Williamsburg?
If this is your first New York trip, shortlist The Hoxton, Williamsburg for a practical reason: British travellers, couples, food and nightlife, value in Brooklyn. The name, star rating and lobby photos matter, but the real test is whether the location helps your days feel easier.
It is less compelling if you want a manhattan base or large family rooms. Before booking from the UK, compare the final price after taxes and property fees, check the exact room setup and make sure your airport arrival route is not needlessly awkward.

Hotel facts
What to know before booking.
First-timer context
Why The Hoxton, Williamsburg might feel special.
What it is known for
- This was the fifth Hoxton and the first outside Europe, following the original Hoxton, Shoreditch, which opened in London in 2006.
- Rooms come in just two sizes, Cosy and Roomy, which is the group's usual approach to keeping rates honest.
- There are three separate drinking and eating spaces: Klein's all day, the Backyard terrace and the Summerly rooftop.
New York moments
- For British travellers the reference point is obvious: if you have stayed at the Hoxton in Shoreditch, Holborn or Southwark, this is the same operation in Brooklyn.
On screen
- The rooftop and lobby are heavily used for events and photography rather than film.
Review questions
What travellers keep asking.
Is it like the Hoxton hotels in London?
Yes, closely. Same room-size logic, same style of lobby that fills up with locals working during the day, and the same emphasis on the ground-floor restaurant and bar.
Which room size should I book?
Cosy is fine for a couple of nights if you are out all day. For longer stays, or if you are travelling with a large case, the Roomy category is worth the difference.

Check these before you reserve.
Total price
Look beyond the nightly rate. Check taxes, destination fees, breakfast and cancellation.
Room layout
For New York, room size, bathroom privacy, bed type and storage can matter more than star rating.
Arrival route
Match the hotel to your airport, luggage and arrival time, especially after an overnight UK flight.
