The open-plan bathroom (with shower, toilet, & one sink) was separated from the room by an iron partition and moss-covered cupboard. Furnishings included a porous stone-looking table of composite wood, leather chair and pendant lampshades, creating a mountain cabin feel. The room featured a kingsize bed, a cozy sitting area and a floor-to-ceiling sliding window that opened to a tiny terrace (unfortunately, no view to speak of). During my visit, I stayed in the hotel’s entry room category, a Dumbo king, which was still spacious by New York standards. The hotel has 194 guest rooms, including 29 multi-bedroom suites and a Presidential Suite.A two-story industrial spiral staircase takes center stage in the lobby and is punctuated by a sculpture of obsidian rock boulders wrapped in hand-dyed rope by Rachel Weiss. The lush greenery is fused with industrial design elements, like exposed pipes, hanging spruces, and glorious metallic lamps, all designed by New York-based firm INC Architecture & Design. The latter opens to a dramatic 25 ft (8 m) green wall, featuring steel grating covered in hand-placed plants and creeping vines that are evolving over time. Created by landscape architecture firm Harrison Green, the hotel’s nature-inspired decor is at its most dramatic in the light-filled lobby.Dumbo is also home to an outdoor hipster market, as well as luxury designers, national chain stores, and bespoke local retailers. Lively cafes, restaurants, and bars are on literally every block, including local landmarks like Grimaldi’s Pizza. Some hotel guests who are familiar with the Big Appe won’t even bother hopping over to Manhattan, since the area around the hotel – known as Dumbo – is one of the city’s most enjoyable and upmarket neighborhoods. The hotel’s location in Brooklyn, just one subway stop from Manhattan, places it close to the electrifying rhythm of New York, but also far enough away to relax after a day of sightseeing or doing business.Dumbo ferry terminal is next to the hotel, and the High Street and York Street subway stations (both one stop from Manhattan) are only a 10 min stroll away. It draws thousands of visitors each day who come for awe-inspiring views of Manhattan and idyllic picnic spots along the waterfront. The park, as its name suggests, is stationed under the Brooklyn Bridge, and features a series of piers filled with recreational facilities, a sandy beach, and a historic warehouse. 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge enjoys a waterfront setting in Brooklyn Bridge Park, a patch of greenery that stretches 1.3 miles (2 km) along the East River in the New York suburb of Brooklyn.In this review (more info and photos below my Youtube clip & slideshow): Have you ever stayed at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge?
