Located right on Brooklyn’s waterfront and adjacent to Brooklyn Bridge Park, 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge offers unmatched views of the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty and, of course, the iconic Brooklyn Bridge itself. With easy access to Dumbo’s artsy streets and vibrant eateries, and just a short walk to the ferry and subway, this hotel is ideal for exploring both Brooklyn and Manhattan. 

Style and character 

The furnishings are proudly Brooklyn-made, featuring reclaimed wood and repurposed furniture.

The hotel’s design is a seamless blend of industrial chic and natural elements. Reclaimed wood from the Domino Sugar Factory, native plants, glass from a Brooklyn-based glass-blowing studio, local artworks and earthy tones create a rustic yet refined ambience. From its living green walls to its organic textures, 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge feels like a modern sanctuary where sustainability meets style. There’s an evident commitment to eco-friendliness, with recycled materials and energy-saving innovations in every corner.

1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge boasts a wide range of facilities to elevate your stay. There’s a rooftop pool with panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline, the holistic Bamford Wellness Spa, a modern gym with Peloton bikes and Treads, and their lobby is a social hub with comfortable lounge spaces and eco-friendly artwork. The hotel also offers a free car service within a three-mile (4.8-kilometre) radius, and is pet-friendly!

1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge is a true testament to sustainability, weaving eco-conscious practices into every detail of its operations. Rainwater collected on the roof irrigates Brooklyn Bridge Park, while the onsite green wall and lush landscaping purify the air. The hotel’s dining options shine with locally sourced ingredients and zero-waste initiatives, including upcycled food scraps and oyster reef restoration. Combined with energy-efficient systems that maximise natural light, this hotel sets the benchmark for sustainable luxury. 

Rooms 

The rooms are proof that sustainability can be chic.

Rooms at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge feature floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Brooklyn Bridge or the New York City skyline. My room was a Bridge King, which has – you guessed it – unbeatable views of the bridge. The window is able to be safely opened, a luxury rarely afforded in big city hotels, and the seat by the window was my favourite spot to admire the iconic landmark.

The room is a nod to eco-luxury, with 100 per cent organic cotton bedding and custom Keetsa mattresses. The neutral tones and natural textures evoke a sense of calm and the bathroom is stocked with sustainable Bamford Spa bath products and a five-minute hourglass in the shower to keep guests water conscious. Plus, filtered water flows through the entire building, so whether it’s from the shower or the water fountain, guests will always have the luxury of fresh, clean water. 

Food and drink

The hotel’s flagship restaurant, The Osprey, serves farm-to-table cuisine with a focus on locally sourced ingredients. Expect modern American dishes with seasonal influences. Hotel guests can enjoy a complimentary wine here between 4pm and 5pm.  

On level 10, Harriet’s Lounge serves signature cocktails and light bites, while Harriet’s Rooftop (yes, different venue) on level 11, serves sustainable, innovative drinks and Asian-inspired light bites using the finest seasonal ingredients, alongside jaw-dropping views of Manhattan’s skyline. Guests can come up here without a booking if there’s capacity, but it’s a very popular spot come sunset, so it might be worthwhile to book. 

There’s also Neighbors, a cafe that provides fresh, sustainable fare and snacks to fuel your day of exploration. 

Access for guests with disabilities? 

The hotel offers five accessible room types.

Family-friendly? 

Children will love bathtime at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge.

While the hotel’s eco-luxury vibe appeals more to couples and solo travellers, 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge does welcome families. There are larger suites available that can accommodate small families, and Brooklyn Bridge Park, right outside the hotel, provides a fantastic space for children to play. However, the overall atmosphere remains more refined and tranquil, catering primarily to adults.
