1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge opened in 2017 in DUMBO at the eastern foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, with the entire Manhattan-skyline directly across the East River. One hundred and ninety-four rooms, every one sustainably-designed (the building uses reclaimed wood and stone throughout, runs on renewable energy, and uses no single-use plastic), the upper tier with east-facing balconies that catch the Manhattan-skyline morning sun. The asset is the rooftop pool and bar, the sixth-floor outdoor pool overlooks both the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline, and the rooftop bar is one of the most-photographed terraces in New York. Barbuto, James Beard winner Jonathan Waxman's California-Italian restaurant, took over the ground-floor dining room in 2025 and suits an unhurried lunch meeting. 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge is the right pick for the business trip in the tech-and-creative-industries cluster, Etsy, Vice (legacy), Kickstarter, and a long roster of media-and-creative offices are within walking distance, and the hotel has built a reputation as the Brooklyn-meeting hotel of choice. The Manhattan-view boardrooms (private rooms with the same skyline view as the suites) are bookable for client meetings and offer a more-cinematic alternative to a midtown conference room.
Bridge View Suite or Manhattan Skyline Suite, east-facing, balcony, full skyline.
Book a Manhattan-view boardroom for the morning client meeting; the skyline backdrop beats any midtown conference room. Barbuto handles the sit-down lunch downstairs. The sixth-floor rooftop pool is for decompressing between sessions, not for swimming laps.
1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in New York for Business list. It scored an aggregate 9.5/10 across the three editorial criteria, competitive against the field but, on business-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same New York neighbourhood, see DUMBO, Brooklyn and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
With dates settled, the booking window that works is about twelve weeks ahead. The view-facing suites disappear earliest, and high-season inventory moves on a timescale of months, not weeks. Suites with a private plunge pool or terrace, the very rooms behind this rank, usually vanish first.
