Travel & Hotel Information
Getting to Brooklyn
Flying into the city
For those flying in from out of town we recommend flying into LaGuardia airport (15-20 minutes from The Box House Hotel) vs. JFK (30-40 minutes) or Newark EWR (40-50 minutes).
Other public transit options
If you are coming in via train/bus to Penn Station/Port Authority and are staying at The Box House, we’d recommend Ubering (15-20 minutes) to the hotel. Google Maps may suggest taking the 7 train, however it requires a fairly strenuous walk uphill and over a bridge, so we don’t recommend it. The closest subway line to the hotel is the G (Greenpoint Ave stop). If you are staying at the Hyatt Long Island City, you can catch the E train to the Court Square stop (10 minutes), which is about a less a 5 minute walk from the hotel.
Driving into the city
There will limited parking available for both hotels within the block. We do not recommend driving in if at all possible — driving in Brooklyn can be exhilarating, but it’s not for the faint of heart.
Hotel Blocks
Box House Hotel
For those who love to party (or just want to minimize travel) you can stay at the same place where the ceremony and reception will take place. We have a block of rooms available at a preferred rate to book (see below for more details). We encourage you to also check sites like booking.com as the block is not guaranteed to be the lowest rate at the time of booking. If you need parking, please use the following link to book at a preferred rate close to the hotel: https://promo.parking.com/the-box-hotel-guest-parking/
Hyatt Place Long Island City
We have secured a hotel block at the Hyatt Place Long Island City. The hotel is a quick (5-10 minutes) drive from the venue and is in a really nice part of Long Island City. Please use this link and use the G-GOTT code that is pre-populated to book in the block. If you call, reference our group name Gottuso-DiTrolio Wedding to book.
Choose your own adventure
Booked too late? Want to spend a few more days in the city, or stay in a different area? That’s great! If choosing not to stay in one of the blocks we’d also recommend one of the following hotels(all within a 15-20 minute drive of the venue):
