Wythe Hotel
About Wythe Hotel
Housed in a meticulously restored 1901 factory building, the Wythe Hotel stands as a landmark of industrial elegance on the Williamsburg waterfront. The venue seamlessly blends historic Brooklyn character—original timber ceilings, exposed brick, and oversized windows—with a sophisticated, contemporary atmosphere. Its location at 80 Wythe Avenue offers guests immediate access to the vibrant energy of North Brooklyn while providing some of the most sought-after views of the Manhattan skyline across the East River.
For private events, the Wythe Hotel offers a distinct culinary edge by providing in-house catering from Le Crocodile, the hotel’s three-star French brasserie. This partnership ensures that event menus go far beyond standard hotel fare, featuring refined, bistro-style cuisine that has earned critical acclaim. Whether hosting an event in the sun-drenched lofts or the moodier, subterranean wine cellar, planners benefit from a dedicated event manager and on-site AV technicians who handle the logistical complexities of high-end productions.
