Why stay?
If you’ve already conquered Manhattan, this sleek bolthole is the perfect jumping-off point for exploring Brooklyn. We stayed in a Bridge King room, and it’s hard to overstate the “wow” factor of its Brooklyn Bridge view. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the landmark beautifully, with a cosy chair perfectly positioned to watch the sun set over the bridge’s cables. Plush, eco-friendly Keetsa mattresses, topped with sustainably sourced bed linen, make sinking into slumber easy, especially after a soak under the rainfall shower, fully stocked with gorgeous-smelling Bamford amenities.
There’s no denying that a stellar location and views are central to 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge’s appeal. Sightseeing is a cinch, even from within the comfort of the hotel: in addition to Harriet’s, a rooftop pool and airy restaurant offer city panoramas. If you can bring yourself to leave, a hidden side exit brings you to a park path leading directly to the Brooklyn Bridge and Fulton Ferry Landing. The first-come, first-served car service also makes zipping to hidden gems around Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) effortless.
