The cool hotels in Brooklyn

In 2021, one of the hippest hotel chains opened its newest member of the family in Boerum Hill, on the edge of Downtown Brooklyn. Housed in a newly constructed brutalist building, Ace Hotel has 287 guest rooms, a cool bar called The Lobby, and a bakery counter named As You Are. Of course, everything has the distinctive artistic Ace vibe and it is reasonably priced.

This pet-friendly hotel offers a number of perks including chauffeur-driven tuk-tuk rides, high tea service on weekends, and bike rentals. The space features plenty of exposed brick, locally made designer toiletries, a nightclub and seasonal outdoor pool, all with the most stunning unobstructed Manhattan views in one of Brooklyn’s trendiest neighborhoods.

This stylish boutique hotel is popular with both Brooklynites and travelers because of the heated outdoor pool. Hotel guests and non-hotel guests can make reservations for the pool and enjoy the full-service bar and crafted cocktail menu. The vibe is great but it can become a very lively and a bit noisy get-together.

The Hoxton, a British boutique hotel, offers rooms in just two sizes, cozy or roomy. Both sizes are still rather small but big enough for a comfortable stay. Each room has notebooks with information and tips on the area, as well as a book collection curated by a local resident as part of the HoxFriends program.
