1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge – A Beacon of Sustainable Luxury in the Heart of New York
Eco-Conscious Design Meets Urban Edge at the Waterfront
Where Nature Meets the Skyline
Perched at the edge of Brooklyn Bridge Park, 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge offers more than skyline views—it’s a living, breathing manifesto for sustainable luxury. Since opening in February 2017, this LEED Gold-certified retreat has redefined urban hospitality with a clear mission: bring nature into the city and luxury back down to earth.
Nature-Inspired Design
From the moment you enter the lobby, you’re immersed in biophilic beauty. A soaring 25-foot living green wall, native plants, and soft natural light evoke a forest-like calm. Inside, reclaimed materials tell their own stories: heart pine beams from the old Domino Sugar Factory, walnut from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and furnishings made from salvaged wood and steel. This is texture with a conscience.
Sustainability in Every Detail
The commitment runs deep. The hotel operates on 100% wind energy, reclaims rainwater to irrigate the park, and uses LED lighting, occupancy-based thermostats, and energy-efficient systems to reduce impact. It’s sustainability not as a slogan, but as a systems-wide standard. Every inch of the hotel is designed to leave a lighter footprint—and a deeper impression.
Wellness with Intention
At the Bamford Wellness Spa, treatments are rooted in Ayurvedic tradition and crafted with certified organic products. On the rooftop, an outdoor pool pairs one of NYC’s best views with serene stillness. Inside, seasonal, locally sourced cuisine nourishes body and spirit alike. Everything here invites you to unplug, unwind, and reconnect—with nature, and with yourself.
Rooted in Community
This hotel doesn’t just care for the planet—it supports the people who live on it. Initiatives like “1 Less Thing” encourage guests to donate clothing to local charities. Guests can zip around in Audi electric house cars, attend events with local makers, and enjoy curated moments that link the global to the hyperlocal. It’s city living with a conscience.
DNA Hotels Verdict
More than a hotel, 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge is a movement—an urban sanctuary where sustainability meets soul. For travelers who value purpose-driven design, authentic connection, and skyline views wrapped in reclaimed wood and living greenery, this is the city’s most mindful luxury stay.
