1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge

The apotheosis of “woke” hospitality, 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge encapsulates the borough’s hip-but-mindful ethos while delivering a sophisticated hotel stay. Rooms glow with a fresh, urban elegance, thanks to reclaimed-wood furniture, open-slatted closets, warm lighting and architectural blackened steel. Floor-to-ceiling sliding windows offer inspiring views over the East River, the hotel’s namesake bridge, and the spires of Lower Manhattan. Downstairs, Neighbors offers on-trend eats like avocado toast, smoothies, and kale-and-grain bowls; a signature restaurant is in the works, as is a spa. Be sure to check out the Anish Kapoor scultpure in the garden and the esplanades in adjacent Brooklyn Bridge Park. The 1 Hotel brand’s commitment to eco-sensitive hospitality is in abundant evidence: The mattresses are hemp, the water triple-filtered, and the entire property runs on wind power. But what might feel dogmatic in other locations feels perfectly natural in Brooklyn.

Smart luxury in Dumbo.

Buttoned-up. If man buns offend you, the exit is to your left (past the living wall).

You’re curious to explore some of New York’s most dynamic neighborhoods and like the natural-minded Brooklyn aesthetic.

On the hotel’s rooftop bar, your feet dangling in the pool, you sip a Dark and Stormy and watch the setting sun glint on the Statue of Liberty’s torch in the distance.
