With over 100,000 rooms to date and another 26,000 in the pipeline, demand for New York hotel rooms shows no signs of slowing (see our piece from March of this year).

14 new and refurbished hotels coming to New York

Two of the most anticipated openings this summer were The Beekman hotel in Lower Manhattan, which has a nine-storey glass atrium alongside its 287 rooms, and the luxury 185-room Four Seasons New York Downtown, which is set to launch later this month.

Brooklyn has seen its share of developments too, welcoming the eco-friendly 192-room 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge Park and soon, the stylish Williamsburg hotel, which will take bookings from December. More are yet to come – here are eight hotels and residences that have recently launched or are soon-to-come in the Big Apple.

William Vale hotel

The William Vale
In the heart of Williamsburg, the 183-room William Vale is housed in a striking, new 21-storey development that it shares with offices, a rooftop park and an “urban farm”. Opened this summer, rooms come with floor-to-ceiling windows with balconies offering views of the Brooklyn bridge and Manhattan skyline. On the 22nd floor, there is a rooftop bar, along with the the longest hotel pool in New York City, which measures 18 metres. Award-winning chef Andrew Carmellini heads the hotel’s restaurant, Leuca, which serves southern Italian cuisine.

Arlo-Hudson-Square

Arlo Hotel Hudson Square
Located off Canal street, the 575-room hotel opened in September as the first four-star “micro hotel” in the US.  The rooms only measure 14 sqm but the design works well for their size, with perks such as a bourbon bar, a large rooftop terrace and a robot to help guests with their luggage. There is also a restaurant on the ground floor.
