These Hotel Restaurants Don’t Only Cater to Tourists

Le Crocodile, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, has to be the most glamorous hotel restaurant of them all, with distinct New York charms: exposed brick walls, arched windows and detailed tile flooring. While the Wythe Hotel dates back only to 2012, it occupies a 122-year-old factory building. The menu, from the folks at the Greenpoint favorite Chez Ma Tante, is all hits: steak frites au poivre, French onion soup and a frisée salad with a poached egg (and smoked eel standing in for lardons).
