As mentioned several times on this blog, there are many benefits to staying in a Brooklyn hotel. Brooklyn offers a variety of resources for less money. Brooklyn hotel

If this is your first vacation to New York City, you may find staying in a Brooklyn hotel to be less overwhelming than Manhattan. You may enjoy many of the same cultural pursuits that Manhattan offers, but on a more manageable scale. Some of Brooklyn’s attractions, such as the Brooklyn Bridge or the Brooklyn Brewery, may be familiar to you, but others such as the Brooklyn Botanic Garden or the Brooklyn Museum of Art may be less familiar.

If you are planning or in charge of an organizing a conference, a hotel outside Manhattan with great access to it may be your best choice. Although you will obviously have to book the hotel conference room in advance, it may be easier and more affordable to get a reservation there than in NYC. Getting a reservation for a better price will allow you to better utilize your allotted budget and focus it on other important details of the conference.

Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, a Brooklyn hotel will be able to accommodate all of your needs.

Part of the appeal of staying in New York, is experiencing the food culture of NYC. When you stay at a NY suite hotel, you want to avail yourself to the local cuisine. Two Boots Pizza, for example, offers a quintessential cultural experience. NY suite hotel

Two Boots Pizza first opened in the East Village in the late 1980s by a former filmmaker, who is still the owner today. The restaurant quickly grew in popularity and became a hugely successful chain, with restaurants in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Baltimore, and Los Angeles, that pay homage to its owner’s movie roots by offering films to rent at many of its locations.

Despite its out-of-state expansion, Two Boots remains a local treasure. Two Boots has had the same red themed interior since the original restaurant first opened. The cowboy boots and color scheme of the restaurant, signage and menus, have become iconic indications of delicious pizza.

The pizza is thin-crusted, with a subtle hint of spicy flavor, so that when you bite into a slice, it nips back in a scrumptious sensory experience. The names of the pizza are homages to the television and cinematic characters, such as the Larry Tate (spinach, plum tomatoes, and fresh garlic on a white pie) and Mr. Pink (marinated chicken, plum tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh garlic).

When you stay at a NY suite hotel, you want to have the full New York experience, which is exactly what Two Boots offers. 

Why Stay In a Brooklyn Hotel

Things have changed in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn is undergoing a renaissance. When the Brooklyn Nets move in next year, they will be Brooklyn’s first professional sports team in nearly sixty years. Williamsburg is home to some of New York’s best fare. Sure first time visitors like to stay in Times Square since they don’t know better, but anyone who’s seen the Statue of Liberty before knows that, like many cities, there’s more to be uncovered than what meets the eye, which is why so many are opting for a Brooklyn hotel instead.

When you stay in a Williamsburg hotel, you have access to the JMZ trains or the L train if you want to go to Manhattan, but these days you don’t need to. Visit different parts of Brooklyn by taking the new ferry. Whitman would’ve approved. The South Williamsburg dock is just a few minutes walk from your Williamsburg hotel. North Williamsburg is teeming with cafes and nightlife. BAM and the Brooklyn Museum of Art are just a short ride away on the G train and offer their own distinct dose of culture.

Ten years ago you’d have to go to Manhattan to go out on Saturday night for dinner and a good time. These days Manhattanites come to Brooklyn to really feel what’s going on in the city.

If you are staying at a Brooklyn hotel, such as the Pointe Plaza, during pre-Halloween weekend or on Halloween, there are many adult and child-oriented events and activities in which you and your children may partake. Brooklyn hotel

Many borough neighborhoods have Halloween parades prior to or on the day of Halloween. After these events, children may then go trick-or-treating. You may go to one, or if you are feeling ambitious, sample a few different parades on different days.  But, to get into the Halloween spirit, you may want to start your parade tour at Coney Island.

On Saturday, October 29th, take the subway down to Coney Island so that you and your children may experience the legendary location and participate in the Coney Island Children’s Halloween Parade, which starts at 1PM. Participants will line up at Peggy O’Neil’s on 1904 Surf Avenue at West 19th Street and proceed down the boardwalk between MCU Park and the New York Aquarium. Registration starts at 11:30AM and the lineup starts assembling at 12:45PM. When you reach the parade’s destination, enjoy the Halloween Ascarium, which is free with general admission and free for kids who come in costume!

Although you are away from home, you and your children may still enjoy a happy Halloween when staying at a Brooklyn hotel.

Anytime you travel, part of the fun of the experience comes from immersing yourself in local culture.  Neighborhood bars, restaurants and shops provide you with a more authentic sense of the metro in which you are staying. Brooklyn hotel

When you stay at a Brooklyn hotel, such as the Pointe Plaza Hotel in Williamsburg, you get to experience the best of both worlds. You have access to the bustling, Type-A personality of Manhattan and to the more laidback, Type-B personality of Brooklyn.

If the thought of the hustle-and-bustle of NYC overwhelms you, I’d recommend hanging around the Williamsburg hotel. Explore the local international cuisine. Fabiane’s Café and Pastry Shop offers truly scrumptious soups, sandwiches, and other culinary delights.  Owned and operated by Fabiane Lima, who blends her training in French cuisine with her Brazilian heritage, this combination yields a delicious array of both French and Brazilian inspired food.

Fabiane’s is an inviting, open, airy environment that includes moderate seating and large windows that allow the sun to caress you as you eat. To get to Fabiane’s Café and Pastry Shop from the Pointe Plaza Hotel, you may take either the B62 Bus or the G or L subway train.

Going to local eateries gives you a feeling of the area and makes your stay a more fulfilling experience.

Brooklyn hotelA Brooklyn hotel isn’t just a place for sleeping while you’re on vacation or on a business trip, it can also be your destination to host a conference or a business seminar. If people are flying in from out of state, it’ll make life easier for them. Everyone can simple stay at the hotel and then take the elevator downstairs and voila! No one will have an excuse for being late! People don’t have to worry about figuring out a subway map (if this is their first time to the Big Apple) or wasting money on a cab. It’s convenient and saves everybody money.

The Platinum Ballroom at the Pointe Plaza isn’t just for business meetings. You can use the space to host a party for your parents’ anniversary, your daughter’s sweet 16, or the office holiday party. It’s a great location with ample space for a get together. It has a capacity for 100 people, with plenty of room for a dance floor. Of course catering is allowed so everyone can be full and happy.

After a long day of partying with the family or attending a seminar, you can spend some time in the heart of Williamsburg and then come back to a relaxing NY suite hotel.

When you stay at a Williamsburg hotel, get a well-rounded, complete experience by enjoying local Brooklyn culture. As mentioned in the previous post, a Brooklyn hotel will give you access to a great bar scene. It will also give you easy access to a collection of galleries, art houses, and unique eateries. If your original plans get washed away by rain, do not despair or if want to spend a quiet, introspective day these activities will suit your needs.  brooklyn hotel

Besides going out to a local bar, one of the best ways to get a sense of Williamsburg and the surrounding area is to visit a gallery that features residential artists. Visiting such an establishment allows you to interact with locals and expand your art repertoire.

If you are interested in seeing an art exhibit, visit Art 101 which features work from different Brooklyn artists. You want to stay at a hotel that has access to the subway and other mass transit. The Pointe Plaza hotel, which is located in a historic part of Brooklyn, is near the subway. The surrounding neighborhood offers its own Brooklyn flavor since it is rife with elements of Brooklyn past and present. It is perfect for a tourist looking to have an authentic Brooklyn experience.

Williamsburg is known for a lot of things: artists, thrift shopping and outdoor concerts at the Williamsburg Waterfront. But the one thing it’s know most for is it’s nightlife. Right down Bedford Avenue and it’s surrounding blocks are all the coolest bars you could ever want to check out, all within walking distance and all with their own great vibes and experiences. That’s why staying at a Williamsburg hotel is a great choice if you want to explore the ever popular night scene of Brooklyn.

The Charleston and Cyn Lounge are two really popular spots right on Bedford avenue. With a pizza place right next door to The Charleston, you can get some chow with your beer. And Cyn Lounge has great happy hour deals, an internet jukebox or on occasion a rock DJ, and is a nice place to chill out.

If you want to check out an actually brewery, Brooklyn Brewery is right in the area on North 11th street. You can take a tour of the brewery, learn how they make some of their delicious beverages, then relax for some of their beers. You can order food in to its bar and enjoy dinner and drinks.

So explore the area around your Williamsburg hotel and have a great time after 7pm in the city!

 

 

Location, location, location; when you are planning a vacation, where you stay is so important since it may affect the entire trip! You want to find a hotel that complements the nature of your vacation; are you looking to immerse yourself in local culture, experience the nightlife, etc.? Or, are you looking to strictly relax and wander at your own pace? Brooklyn hotel

Once you determine the answers to these questions, you will be able to find the appropriate accommodations. For example, if you are interested in exploring Manhattan by day, but want a less frenetic environment to return to in the evening, you should consider staying at a Brooklyn hotel, such as the Pointe Plaza. This NY suite hotel, which is located in a historic Brooklyn neighborhood, offers both a variety of amenities and access to Manhattan via subway, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, and the Williamsburg Bridge.

Your vacation plans also depend on your family. If you have children, you want to stay in a hotel that is welcoming to them. The Pointe Plaza Hotel offers cribs and cots upon request. You may also seek the hotel’s babysitting services so you may step out for a few hours to enjoy an adult evening and explore the area.

The Pointe Plaza Hotel’s location allows you to find the hidden treasures of Brooklyn and get lost in the bustling culture of Manhattan.

When staying in a Brooklyn hotel, you want to be in one that is close to Manhattan and offers the full cultural experience of both Brooklyn and the neighboring boroughs. Manhattan and Brooklyn offer their own distinctive experiences and you want to be able to enjoy both of them to their fullest extent. NY suite hotel

The easiest way to book a Brooklyn hotel or any NY suite hotel is to do it online. Reputable hotels have websites that offer you information on their amenities with photographic evidence to support their claims. You may determine if the hotel fits your needs by looking at rooms, reviewing special services, perusing a fact sheet, and viewing the photo gallery.

Be an educated consumer; before you book a room, do all your research on the hotel and what the surrounding area has to offer: Does the hotel offer special deals or discounts? If it does, how do you qualify for them? What type of meal accommodations does it provide? These are all questions that you should consider when planning a vacation.

The most convenient aspect of utilizing a hotel’s website is that you may easily make reservations online.  Once you have decided that you want to stay in a NY hotel, book it immediately!
