Character and identity
Ace Hotel Brooklyn plants 287 rooms in the scrappy strip between Downtown Brooklyn and Boerum Hill, opposite a Goodwill and steps from Barclays Center. Roman and Williams have leaned into the industrial bones: exposed concrete, warehouse windows, plywood furniture, and pops of deep green, plus turntables with Rough Trade records in larger categories. The lobby is the social engine, a skylit, plant-filled workspace with a library table, moody bar, and 5 p.m. happy hour that pulls in locals and dogs alike. At As You Are, Camille Becerra cooks crab bucatini, roast chicken, and short rib burgers, with pastéis de nata and Parlor Coffee at the pastry bar. Service is casual, routed through a front desk tucked inside a gift shop.
Who's it for
Best for:
Repeat New York visitors and design-literate creatives who treat the lobby as an extension of their working day, want a dog-friendly base with good subway access, and would rather wander Boerum Hill than queue in Midtown. Music heads should book up into the suites for the turntable and records.
Should look elsewhere:
First-time New York visitors who want to walk to landmarks, anyone expecting a polished or quiet street scene, and travellers who need formal concierge service. North-facing rooms look straight into a neighbouring high-rise, so privacy seekers will want to request west-facing.
Bottom line
What you're really paying for is the lobby-as-living-room culture and a genuinely characterful room product, not the address, which sits in working Brooklyn rather than anywhere scenic. Book it on your second or third New York trip, ask for a west-facing king, and target a suite if the Rough Trade turntable matters. Rooms from $249 are fair value by city standards.
