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.

Liked: Honestly so glad I stayed here! We were in town for a wedding and did not want to stay at the hotel listed on the invitation so I had to do some searching of my own. Came across this gem and I am so glad I did. From the room to the staff to the cleanliness. I would definitely stay here again and recommend my friends to stay as well. The bed was comfortable. The room was spacious enough for my 2 night stay. Anything we needed, the staff immediately responded and delivered. Even the lobby had such a cute vibe with its movie screen wall cycling through different scenes, me and my partner sat in the lobby just to watch them all!
Disliked: The only one thing I would say was about the restaurant where we had complimentary breakfast. Although the food was good and tasty and way better than your typical oatmeal and mini boxes of cereal, the food didn’t come out hot. It was teetering between room temp and warm. But the food still hit the spot and again it was complimentary which was a bonus!! After a few bloody Mary’s and espresso martinis, the temp of the food didn’t even matter!
