It’s been a long time coming, but the arrival of the Hotel Williamsburg (160 N. 12th St., nr. Bedford Ave.; hwbrooklyn.com) is good news for the neighborhood, which until now has had very few stylish places to stay. The entrance brings you up to the lobby level, where there is a waterfall running around the fireplace (in the background) and underneath a glass-topped section of the floor. Photo: Wendy Goodman
