While Moxy hotels in Manhattan embody the essence of New York City, Moxy Williamsburg/Brooklyn gets down to business with a bleisure travel experience that celebrates the city as an international hub of commerce, trade and trends.

Beyond its more than 13,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, Moxy Williamsburg brings the world to Brooklyn and its guests. The destination restaurant is the Bauhaus-designed, Tel Aviv-inspired Mesiba, while the groovy indoor-outdoor rooftop lounge LilliStar carries an Indo-Aussie vibe. The all-season urban “backyard” garden Bar Bedford Gardens offers a fresh and eternal springtime aesthetic. And you can’t have a New York City stay without a high-tech, high-energy lounge like Jolene Sound Room. When it is time to get down to business in a more organized way, three Meeting Studios with modular furniture allow both intimate and large-scale sessions tailored for the occasion.

Moxy also offers preferred group guestroom rates from 10 rooms per night to a full hotel buyout of 216 rooms. However, as Moxy hotels are designed for visitors who want to experience the city beyond the room — even when traveling for business — Moxy Williamsburg builds in experiences through its new meeting and events programming, ensuring everybody gets a full taste of the New York City lifestyle:

Rooftop Yoga

For a relaxing start ahead of a busy day or as a way to close out a long day of meetings, groups can partake in rooftop yoga classes at LilliStar’s expansive outdoor rooftop patio overlooking the whole of Manhattan. Private yoga classes can be arranged upon request.

Perfect Pairings

Groups seeking the perfect breakout session can join Mesiba’s own Chef Eli for their choice of Perfect Pairings sessions: Wine & Cheese or Arak & Dip. Participants indulge in an array of different cheeses paired with different varieties of wine, or imbibe on Levantine spirits with dips ranging from hummus to tzatziki, baba ganoush to pita and Israeli salad.

Private Karaoke Party

As the day winds to a close, groups can head from their meeting to state-of-the-art Jolene Sound Room for a nighttime Private Karaoke Party. Featuring intimate seating, interactive lighting that moves to the beat and high-tech audiophile speakers, the retro-inspired lounge promises nothing less than the best karaoke event of any group’s getaway.

Chef Eli’s Traveling Hummus Cart

For a midday pick-me-up, foodie-inclined groups can enjoy Chef Eli’s Traveling Hummus Cart, serving a take on traditional hummus with warm chickpeas, tahini and olive oil, and a selection of fresh enhancements and complements available.

Key to the City

Moxy Williamsburg newly launched its Key to the City program for guests and groups alike, unlocking exclusive deals and discounts across neighborhood hot spots, including Brooklyn Brewery and Brooklyn Unplugged Tour’s Graffiti and Street Art Tour. Upon arrival, groups will be presented with their own hotel keys that “unlock” these deals via a QR code.
