Once a social club for Williams College, this century-old brownstone is now The William, a boutique hotel. Stunning beaux-arts architecture and an unbeatable location. Each stylish room includes a balcony, kitchenette, and a Roku for streaming. Downstairs, enjoy British-style dishes at The Shakespeare or a craft cocktail at The Raines Law Room. Endless landmarks are just steps away from your front door. Snap a picture of the world’s largest train terminal at Grand Central. Wander through four acres of greenery at Bryant Park. Or capture a birdseye view of NYC from the Empire State Building. The Big Apple is yours for the taking at The William.

We have a partnership with Blink Fitness Grand Central, just two blocks away. Please show them your booking confirmation for complimentary gym access.
