Fodor's Expert Review Sonder The William

24 E. 39th St., New York, New York, 10016, USA

The two connected brownstones that were once home to a social club for Williams College are now a modern, extended-stay hotel with an outpost of the fabulous speakeasy-style cocktail bar Raines Law Room. The six-story property has rooms with bold colors and contemporary style, plus free Wi-Fi, Nespresso machines, and fully equipped kitchens. Service is a focus here, with a 24-hour concierge and grocery shopping available. The common spaces take their inspiration from the building's roots: the Shakespeare is a polished restaurant serving British classics in a space designed to resemble a gentleman's club, and The Shakespeare Pub is a classic British pub with wood-beam ceilings.
