NYC Hospitality Innovator Sponsored By Heineken: The Wythe Hotel's Peter Lawrence, Encouraging Us To Wake Up In Williamsburg

Peter and Jed bought the building over three years ago and then the economic “world fell apart,” which gave them two years to really figure out the business and win Andrew’s trust. During this time Peter took a job working the front desk at the Jane Hotel for Sean MacPherson and Eric Goode. “It was a well spent two years.” I think it’s so cool that you did that. Peter: “It’s the only way to learn. It was very kind of Sean and Eric to be open to it. I got an amazing education and they were totally open to me learning how they did things and picking up all sorts of information that I wouldn’t have picked up in any other way. And they absolutely got their money’s worth- so it was good ha.”
