Welcome to The Hoxton, Williamsburg. It’s great to have you in the house and we hope that you enjoy your stay with us, whatever the reason for your visit. To make sure you get the most out of your trip, we’ve put together this little Survival Guide containing all the bits and bobs you might need.
From getting around town to getting those creases out of your dinner shirt, it’s all laid out nice and easy for your scrolling pleasure. We want you to have the best stay possible, so anything you need day or night just dial 0 on the dog and bone next to your bed.
Us and our neighbourhood
This is our fifth Hoxton, first in North America, and first that we’ve built from soup to nuts — the walls, the windows, the rooftop, the lot! Formerly the site of the Rosenwach Water Tank Factory, it’s where the water tanks that still paint the New York City skyline today were created.
Just like The Hoxton, Shoreditch in London where it all began, Williamsburg is a real melting pot of culture, characters, and creatives. We’ve got plenty of green spaces to spread out in, rooftops to drink on, bodegas to stumble into, and shops to explore. With an inclusive spirit and open mind, it’s a natural fit for The Hoxton’s first trip across the pond.
Quick Tips
The nearest subway station is the L train on the corner of Bedford and N 7th St – click here to access it on Google Maps.
The team at the front desk will be able to guide you if you’re stumped.
Housekeeping is currently available upon request. Dial #0 to get your room tidied up!
Short hops or long rides, download any of the ride sharing apps like Uber or Lyft. Hailing a NY cab is a bit tricky around these parts.
There are Brompton bikes available for you to use for free during your stay. The team at the front desk will give you the lowdown, plus a cycle guide of our favorite route around the neighborhood. Or if you’d prefer, hop on a Citi Bike, the closest docking station is just around the corner on N 9th and Wythe.
It goes without saying, WiFi is free for all guests at The Hox. And if you’d like to make a good ole fashioned landline call, your first hour is free per day to pretty much anywhere except the moon.
Just call the front desk (0) and we’ll bring an ice bucket right up.
Want something printed? Just email your document to hello.williamsburg@thehox.com and we’ll take care of the rest.
For fitness bunnies, Chalk Gym is a breezy 5-minute walk from here. Guests of The Hox can use an all day, all access pass for 25 bucks.
The Little Breakfast
The rumors are true, fairies are alive and living right here at The Hox. The breakfast fairies, that is. They’ll deliver a breakfast bag to each and every room for just $5 each for adults, or free for a Little’uns Breakfast Bag.
Just fill out The Little Breakfast or Little’uns Breakfast bag on top of the fridge, pop it on the hook outside your room and it will be waiting for you filled with a light breakfast when you wake up in the morning.
Pssstttt! Upgrade alert. We got in the kitchen with Spoonful to develop our very own Acai Crunch overnight oats. Check ’em out in all their gluten free, vegan glory.
Got little’uns in tow?
Tiny Hox has you covered. Whether you’re joining us with infants, toddlers or kids that are slightly older, we’ve put together all the essentials to see you through. All of our rooms fit cribs. If you need one free of charge, just dial 0 and we’ll bring it up.
For little’uns aged 0-2 years, all Tiny Hox stays come with a welcome tote, containing our Smallable x Hox coloring book and pencils, as well as the following by request: free Little’uns Breakfast Bag, family-approved neighborhood map, kid-friendly menus in our lobby restaurants, bottle warmers, nappy pails, Coterie nappies and wipes (needed in a pinch), freezer space for milk and food, bath essentials (anti-slip shower mat, baby bath, baby soap and lotion), and board games curated by Smallable.
