Arlo Williamsburg

Design-Forward Comfort in the Heart of Williamsburg

Modern, eclectic, and effortlessly cool, Arlo Williamsburg is a boutique hotel nestled in one of Brooklyn’s most vibrant neighborhoods. With eye-catching architecture blending brick, glass, and Corten steel, and interiors created by London’s Michaelis Boyd Studio, this hotel is as much a design destination as a place to stay. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in stunning Manhattan or Brooklyn views, and many rooms include private balconies perfect for city-gazing after a show.
