Public Hotels

As the name might imply, the public spaces are a big factor here, and once you walk through the ground-level garden and take the glowing, futuristic elevators up to the lobby, an entire community awaits—one with big white sofas, work spaces, and plenty of locals who come to get some work done in a setting that's a bit more exciting than their neighborhood cafe.

1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge

Calm and cool, modern, and with a palette of serene neutrals, the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge is meant to let the outdoors in, and accomplishes that with plenty of natural light and greenery (including lots of plants everywhere) and iconic DUMBO neighborhood views.
