What The William Vale actually is
The William Vale is a 23-storey tower on stilts, and its footprint gives every one of its 183 rooms a private balcony — an amenity almost unheard of in New York hotels. The building's elevated park level is open to the public and connects to the neighbourhood below.
The 60-foot outdoor pool on the fourth floor is the largest hotel pool in the city, Westlight on the 22nd floor is a glass-walled cocktail bar with a 360-degree terrace, and Leuca on the ground floor covers southern Italian cooking from Andrew Carmellini.
