History
The waterfront land that became Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park spent most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as working industrial harbor — the territory of longshoremen, warehouses, and the everyday machinery of New York's maritime commerce. The stretch of Brooklyn's East River shoreline facing Lower Manhattan served the cargo trade for generations, accumulating layers of industrial infrastructure before the collapse of the working waterfront economy left much of it derelict through the latter half of the twentieth century. The campaign to transform those piers into a public park was one of New York City's most consequential urban planning projects of the early 2000s.
1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge opened in 2017 as the first hotel to anchor Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park, designed by SHoP Architects as an exercise in sustainable luxury that wears its materiality honestly. The building's most celebrated touch is structural and symbolic at once: heart-pine beams salvaged from the demolition of the nearby Domino Sugar Factory were incorporated into the hotel's public spaces, allowing the industrial timber of one Brooklyn waterfront chapter to carry forward into the next. The reclaimed wood, alongside regionally sourced stone and live-edge surfaces throughout, gives the lobby and common areas the warmth of a place that understands its own geography.
The views are the hotel's most immediate distinction. The East River broadens at this point and the hotel's terrace, rooftop pool, and river-facing rooms look directly across the water at Lower Manhattan, with the Brooklyn Bridge itself arching over the scene. Few addresses in New York offer the skyline from this angle — and from this side of the water, the city takes on a different scale and weight.
Harriet's rooftop bar and the Barbuto restaurant under chef Jonathan Waxman have made the hotel a destination for Brooklyn and Manhattan diners alike. The Neighbors all-day dining room and the Lobby Farmstand reinforce the brand's commitment to locally sourced, seasonally driven food and beverage. The hotel has earned recognition from Condé Nast Traveler readers and the Michelin Guide, and holds AAA Four Diamond status, marking its place as one of the most acclaimed hotels to open in New York during its era.
