1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge

Sustainable luxury at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge with Manhattan skyline views

★★★★★📍 DUMBO, Brooklyn$$$$

1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge opened in 2017 in DUMBO, at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge with direct Brooklyn Bridge Park access. The hotel anchors the rejuvenated waterfront and offers some of NYC's most photogenic views — the rooftop pool deck looks directly at the Manhattan skyline across the East River, framed by both the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.

As a 1 Hotels property, sustainability is the design organizing principle. Rooms feature reclaimed wood throughout, hemp linens, living plant walls in public spaces, an absence of single-use plastic, and a commitment to local sourcing for the food program. The 1 Hotel chain takes its environmental claims seriously rather than as marketing — and the hotel doesn't compromise the experience to do it.

The location works on multiple fronts: DUMBO's cobblestone streets and the Brooklyn Bridge Park (with its piers, lawn, and skyline views) are right outside; Brooklyn Bridge access for the iconic walk across is a block away; subway connections from York Street (F line) or High Street (A/C) get you to Manhattan in 10 minutes; and the surrounding DUMBO/Brooklyn Heights neighborhoods have some of the borough's strongest restaurants and bars.

Rooms typically run $500-900/night depending on season. The rooftop bar and pool are open to non-guests via reservation; the hotel's restaurant, Osprey, is well-reviewed.
