McCarren Hotel & Pool

This chic, glass-walled hotel abuts Williamsburg’s popular McCarren Park. There’s plenty to see within walking distance, given that the hotel is located in the heart of this trendy neighborhood. But McCarren attracts its own crowds with its saltwater pool amid 4,800 square feet of deck space, open to guests and available to non-guests with a day pass (from $30). Rooms are snug but feature park or pool views, crisp Frette linens, rain showers, and bath products by Davines.
