From the 25-foot green wall in the lobby lounge to the “Waterline” murals in select guestrooms that pay tribute to the rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Sandy, the incredible art throughout 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge reminds us of the beauty and power of nature while honoring the city’s rich history and culture. Many of the featured artists are New York natives, sharing their unique perspectives through mindful materials and inspired designs.

Whether it’s the wooden key card you use to enter your room, the Full Moon Meditation that centers you, or the ‘Supper That Sustains Us’ event you share with us—there are mindful moments waiting for you around every corner of this urban sanctuary. Each one of these thoughtful touches aims to evoke a sense of mindfulness and well-being while uplifting and celebrating the world around you.

Our menus celebrate New York City’s diverse and eclectic food culture, spotlighting local ingredients sourced from regional farmers, fishers, bakers, and makers.

1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge was designed to optimize energy efficiency. The building’s trapezoidal shape maximizes natural light, and our strategic sunshades reduce heat buildup and minimize energy consumption. We also utilize intelligent lighting controls, base building management systems, innovative ventilation systems, and a green roof to reduce the building’s overall environmental impact. When you leave the property, explore the city through a number of green transportation options—from walking to driving in our 100% electric Audi Q8 e-tron house cars.

On the roof of this urban oasis, you’ll find a special rainwater collection system that transports water to our underground tank. We donate this water to the park for sustainable irrigation. For our on-site landscaping, we use irrigation systems controlled by timers and weather-based data. Throughout the sanctuary, we also utilize low-flow fixtures, real-time monitoring, and a base-building filtration system to provide you with high-quality (LEED*) filtered drinking water.
