What’s Happening at The William Vale This Summer: Rooftop Pool Parties to Wellness Experiences
Summer in New York always arrives with a shift in energy, but this year, The William Vale is introducing a completely new way to experience the season in Brooklyn.
In partnership with Sephora, The William Vale is transforming its rooftop spaces, pool experiences, wellness moments, and summer programming into an immersive lifestyle destination centered around beauty, travel, nightlife, and social connection.
Rather than approaching beauty through a traditional retail lens, the collaboration focuses on experiences, the moments before a rooftop party, the transition from poolside afternoons to evenings at Westlight, the excitement of getting ready for Pride with friends, or resetting after a long summer day in the city.
From rooftop pool parties and dive-in movies to and beauty-focused wellness rituals, The William Vale is becoming one of the most talked-about summer destinations in Williamsburg.
Summer at The William Vale in Partnership with Sephora
The Sephora partnership extends throughout the property, creating experiences that feel integrated into the rhythm of summer rather than limited to a single activation.
Throughout the season, guests will discover:
- The Sephora Pool Club at Vale Pool
- The Glow Library beauty borrowing closet
- Dive-in movie nights
- Seasonal cocktails and poolside bites
Social-first experiences designed for groups, celebrations, and summer weekends in Brooklyn.
The experience has been designed for both overnight hotel guests and locals looking for elevated rooftop events, pool parties, and wellness experiences throughout NYC this summer.
Inside the Sephora Pool Club at Vale Pool
At the center of the collaboration is the Sephora Pool Club at Vale Pool, where rooftop pool culture meets beauty, and social experiences.
Already one of the most recognizable rooftop pools in Brooklyn, Vale Pool has been reimagined for summer with Sephora-inspired elements integrated throughout the space.
Guests can expect:
- Sephora-branded poolside moments
- SPF stations and beauty touch-up areas
- Curated cabanas and daybeds
- Poolside cocktails and seasonal dining
- Interactive social experiences throughout the deck
A high-energy daytime atmosphere designed for groups and celebrations
The experience is designed to feel elevated while still remaining approachable and social.
For some guests, the pool becomes the focus of the day itself. For others, it becomes the starting point for the rest of the evening, transitioning naturally into rooftop cocktails, nightlife, dinners at Westlight, or summer events happening across Williamsburg.
Hotel guests can spend the day poolside before heading upstairs to get ready for the evening using tools from the Glow Library, while locals can access the experience through ResortPass day bookings.
The Sephora Beauty Library: Beauty as Part of the Stay Experience
One of the most distinctive parts of the collaboration is the Glow Library, a beauty borrowing closet designed exclusively for hotel guests.
Inspired by previous luxury borrowing concepts at The William Vale, the Glow Library allows guests to incorporate premium beauty tools and self-care moments into their stay without needing to travel with them.
Depending on seasonal availability, guests may have access to:
- Dyson styling tools
- LED skincare devices
- Elevated beauty technology
- Curated getting-ready essentials
Rather than functioning as a traditional hotel amenity, the Glow Library becomes part of the flow of the stay itself.
Guests may use the space while preparing for rooftop dinners, before heading to Brooklyn Pride events, or when transitioning from daytime pool experiences into evenings out in Williamsburg.
For bachelorette groups, girls’ weekends, and social stays, it creates an additional layer to the experience, transforming the process of getting ready into part of the celebration itself.
Dive-In Movies Under the Brooklyn Skyline
Dive-in movie nights return to The William Vale this summer with Sephora-inspired enhancements woven throughout the experience.
The pool screenings combine floating movie viewing with cocktails and skyline views designed to make the evenings feel more immersive and social than a traditional outdoor cinema event.
Guests can expect:
- Floating movie experiences
- Beauty and fashion-inspired film selections
- Branded floaties and poolside details
- Cocktails and snacks throughout the screening
- Interactive moments integrated into the evening
Many guests may spend the afternoon at Vale Pool before staying for movie nights, without requiring additional tickets, creating a full day-to-night experience that moves naturally from poolside lounging into evening entertainment.
Wellness, Rituals & Slower Summer Moments
While much of the summer programming focuses on social experiences and nightlife, the collaboration also introduces quieter, wellness-focused moments throughout the stay.
Mornings at The William Vale can feel entirely different from the energy of the rooftop later in the evening.
Guests may begin the day with coffee overlooking Brooklyn, spend the afternoon relaxing poolside, and return to their rooms for beauty rituals and self-care moments before heading back out into the city.
This balance between relaxation and energy reflects the overall campaign direction, positioning beauty not as a standalone experience, but as something integrated naturally into travel, hospitality, and everyday summer rituals.
Celebrate Summer in Brooklyn
Throughout the season, programming at The William Vale will align with some of the biggest moments of summer in New York City.
Guests visiting throughout the summer can expect elevated experiences surrounding:
- Brooklyn Pride celebrations
- Fourth of July rooftop events
- Bachelorette weekends and girls’ getaways
- Rooftop celebrations and birthday weekends
During Pride weekends, guests may move from daytime pool parties into rooftop celebrations across Brooklyn, using the Glow Library to prepare for evening events and nightlife.
Fourth of July weekends bring a different energy, combining daytime rooftop pool experiences, cocktails, and skyline views of fireworks across the city.
The result is a summer experience that feels immersive, social, and constantly evolving throughout the season.
