"Twelve years after Ace Hotel transformed Manhattan’s NoMad neighborhood into a destination worth visiting, the brand opened its second NYC property, on the edge of Brooklyn’s residential Boerum Hill neighborhood and Downtown Brooklyn, in the summer of 2021. Built from the ground up, the 13-story Ace Hotel Brooklyn features a concrete brutalist facade designed by Roman and Williams. Inside, organic elements such as green leather couches, wooden walls, and textile and fiber art pieces add warmth to raw concrete pillars and ceilings in the expansive lobby and throughout the 287 rooms. If you must go into Manhattan, the A/C train at Hoyt-Schermerhorn is just a block away. As You Are, the ground-floor restaurant, features a menu from chef Camille Becerra. Menu highlights include healthy grain bowls and spicy seafood bucatini with squid, rock shrimp, and Calabrian chili. In the morning, don’t miss getting freshly made pastries with your coffee at the bakery counter." - Jennifer Flowers
