The William Vale is at 111 North 12th Street, between Wythe and Berry Streets in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York City. The East River waterfront and Domino Park are a few blocks west, Bedford Avenue's shops and restaurants are about ten minutes on foot, and the Bedford Avenue L subway station and the North 6th Street ferry landing are nearby. The Manhattan skyline is visible from many upper floors, and Manhattan's Lower East Side is about 20 minutes away by transit.

The hotel is a 22-story tower with a distinctive stepped, angular glass facade, completed in the mid-2010s and standing above the low-rise neighbourhood. Rooms feature private balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows framing the city skyline. Categories include King rooms, Skyline rooms and Suites, and interiors use a clean, modern style with warm materials. A landscaped park beside the hotel offers green space and outdoor events.

The rooftop is a major attraction, with a bar on the top floor, an outdoor pool and sun terrace, and skyline views that make it a popular place for sunset drinks in summer. The hotel also has a restaurant serving Italian-influenced dishes, and additional bars and dining options. A fitness center and wifi are provided. Pool access can be limited to hotel guests and members at busy times, so it is worth confirming details before arrival.

Service is contemporary and design-led, aimed at leisure travellers, couples and visitors to Brooklyn events. It is more spacious and amenity-rich than many other Williamsburg hotels. Nightly rates usually range from about $350 to $900, depending on season and view. Summer weekends are the most expensive and busiest, when the roof pool and bar are at their liveliest, while winter offers noticeably lower prices. The hotel's position near the Williamsburg Bridge and the L train also gives quick access to Manhattan's Lower East Side and Union Square for evenings out.
