Welcome to Wythe Hotel & to Brooklyn. We are so pleased to have you with us.
There’s something special about welcoming both new & familiar faces through these doors. This building has lived many lives, from a place where barrels were made to a fabric workshop, now a hotel filled with stories like yours.
When we began transforming it into Wythe in 2008, we wanted to keep its soul intact: the original wood, the brick walls, the neighborhood presence. No one will ever build a place like this again. Preserving it is a legacy we are honored to carry forward & add to with each interaction.
We are grateful to be part of your time here. Please be sure to let us know if there’s anything you need.
Cheers,
Peter Lawrence
Owner | Wythe Hotel

Standing since 1901. Observing always.

History
Once a cooperage and later a textile factory producing fabric for NASA, the building has witnessed Brooklyn's complete transformation. We honor this history by preserving its industrial bones—sixteen-foot timber ceilings, concrete floors, arched windows—while adding only what enhances rather than alters.

Neighborhood
Williamsburg stands at the intersection of Brooklyn's creative legacy and New York's business future. Just as the Wythe transformed from industrial factory to distinctive hospitality landmark, the neighborhood has evolved from manufacturing center to cultural hub.

Artwork
Brooklyn artists responding to a century of industrial history. Commissioned works that continue the conversation between craft, purpose, and place.
