“Wythe Hotel started with the discovery of an old factory on the Brooklyn waterfront. Built in 1901 as a cooperage, we have preserved, renovated, and turned our historically industrial building into a place where people feel welcome.”


 

I will never ever get sick of seeing fantastic refurbishments of heritage buildings, especially when they are converted into hipster hotels. An absolute dream-come-true kind of project for this little designer, and many others no doubt. Located in Williamsburg, neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, recently opened Wythe Hotel offers up a huge dose of amazeballs with its superfine clash of vintage industrial and sleek modern. This 72-room hotel retains much of its original character and offers spectacular views back towards Manhattan.

What else can I say – I friggin love it to bits, ok?! Extreme love!
