The Spotlight on 42 Hotel Williamsburg

Stylish Brooklyn Base Close to the Music

Modern and sleek with a distinctly Brooklyn vibe, 42 Hotel Williamsburg is a 4-star stay just across the river from Manhattan and surrounded by music culture. Tucked into the vibrant Williamsburg neighborhood, this hotel blends upscale comfort with urban edge—think curated interiors, city views, and amenities designed for modern travelers. With hotspots like Brooklyn Steel, Elsewhere, and the Barclays Center all within easy reach, it’s a prime pick for concert-goers.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you’re here for the music, you’re in the right place. 42 Hotel Williamsburg is less than 15 minutes from major Brooklyn venues and offers easy access to Manhattan shows too. After the encore, head back to a quiet room with soundproofing and city views. The 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins a breeze, and with ride shares and public transit nearby, getting home after a show is hassle-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking to crash together after a big night
- Solo travelers chasing a dream artist or festival
- Couples planning a music-filled Brooklyn weekend
- Fans who want a peaceful place to wind down
- Budget-conscious travelers seeking good value in a hip area

Food and Drink Options

There’s no need to go far for good eats. The on-site restaurant serves up classic American cuisine with options for vegan and vegetarian guests. Breakfast is available in à la carte, continental, or full American styles—ideal after a late night out. Room service and a bar on-site mean you can keep the night rolling or recover in bed with a bite.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself offers a cozy bar for a nightcap, you’re steps from Williamsburg’s buzzing nightlife. From rooftop lounges to underground clubs, the area is packed with places to pre-game or keep the party going. Prefer something chill? Grab a local craft beer in one of the neighborhood’s many laid-back spots.

What People Say

Guests love the stylish design, friendly staff, and clean, modern rooms. Many reviewers highlight the location as a major plus—close to venues but tucked away enough for peaceful sleep. The walkability to restaurants and bars gets frequent praise, as does the view from city-facing rooms.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that room sizes run a bit snug, especially when sharing with friends. Parking is limited and comes at a fee, so public transit or ride shares might be a better bet for concert nights.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for style, comfort, and a killer Brooklyn location, 42 Hotel Williamsburg hits the right note.

Would definitely stay again if...

Liked: Loved all the detail (robes, slippers, bottle of wine, breakfast for 2, shower pressure, fridge in room, friendliest of all staff)! Also loved the very short distance to the subway! We had a parking spot ($45/night) and it seemed like there was always at least 1 spot open every day we were there.
Disliked: The location is definitely a bit shady and run down, but not the hotel’s fault. It’s probably hard to find a “nice” area in the NYC area these days. However, this hotel definitely made you feel safe and comfortable regardless, and again, you couldn’t be any closer to a main subway station!
