Hotel Willamsburg, Brooklyn’s newest boutique hotel, opened at North 12th Street this week. It combines big-city aesthetics and small town hospitality. Hoteliers Jim and Ben Graves, have included soft lighting, steel and leather furniture, and Midwestern hospitality in the 64-room building.
The guest rooms of the eight story building are equipped with hardwood floors, vintage record players, and spirits such as whiskey. Next spring the hotel will face competition as a new boutique hotel will open in DUMBO, just two blocks away. The hoteliers, however, think they will have the winning hand thanks to their Midwestern charm.
“A couple of people gave our staff hugs when they checked out,” said Jim Graves. “They said it’s their new home when they come to the city.”
