Old meets new in Brooklyn’s northernmost neighborhood, where 19th-century factory buildings and modern skyscrapers share the streets – named after 18th-century Greenpoint residents. The hotels play with time by outfitting century-old industrial buildings with contemporary art and one modern structure with an authentic 1970s Airstream. Here are the best hotels in Greenpoint, Brooklyn – bookable on Culture Trip.
