Fodor's Expert Review

This highly anticipated Brooklyn newcomer (and sibling to 1 Hotel Central Park) opened its doors on the banks of the East River in February 2017. Industrial touches nod to the neighborhood’s past and an eco-conscious attitude is strongly present from the two-story living wall in the lobby to the reclaimed wood floors. The property is opening in stages, with a restaurant, rooftop bar, and rooftop pool in the works.

Room

Open-concept rooms start at 300 square feet and have wide plank wood floors, windows that stretch to the ceiling, and thoughtful extras like a drinking tap with triple-distilled water and a yoga mat in the closet, so you can drink nice water and then do yoga. Bedside iPads make ordering room service quick and easy. Windows open and are flanked by a couch topped with a pile of pillows.

Tip The Skyline 1-bedroom Suites have hammocks beside floor-to-ceiling windows for taking in views of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan skyline.

Bathroom

Spacious bathrooms have sleek gray and white marble, glass-enclosed showers, big mirrors, and ample vanity space. All bathrooms have signature 1 Hotels bath products. Some suites have the addition of a soaking tub.

You Should Know Bathrooms with glass-enclosed showers exposed to the rest of the room might not suit all guests.

Lobby

A living wall that climbs to the ceiling of a double-height room is the centerpiece of the breezy lobby. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer Brooklyn Bridge views and a mix of couches and chairs topped with faux furs and plush cushions offer an inviting place to lounge.

Dining

Neighbors is a ground-floor café that satisfies cravings from coffee to ice cream. Cocktails and craft beers are served at the small lobby bar. A full-service restaurant is planned for a separate ground floor space and the rooftop will have a bar.
