BROOKLYN: A Hotel With Dorms For Grad Students

BROOKLYN (KINGS COUNTY - NYC) NY: A new Brooklyn property promises to be a learning experience: It’s a hybrid of housing for students and a hotel.

The hotel, titled Penny Williamsburg and located at 288 North 8th Street, will offer 102 rooms for Bard Graduate Center students and other scholars, plus 118 for hotel guests.

The hotel portion of Penny Williamsburg is now open and the dormitories will welcome students beginning in January.
