Eco-luxury brand 1 Hotels opened its doors in Brooklyn last week in the waterfront Dumbo neighborhood, marking the first luxury hotel opening in Dumbo, 1 Hotels’ third property and its first ground-up development property.

The new hotel is situated at Pier 1 on Brooklyn’s riverfront park, offering panoramic views of the East River, the Statue of Liberty, the Manhattan skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge. The property features 194 guestrooms, including 29 two- to six-bedroom suites and The Riverhouse, its presidential suite, with most rooms offering views of the East River.

Guests entering the hotel find a dramatic, 25-foot green wall, a two-story industrial spiral staircase and unique architectural and design features, all in keeping with the hotel’s sustainable mission. The hotel features a 4,000-square-foot rooftop, a nine-room spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a yoga and barre studio operated by POE Yoga, two restaurants, a 10th-floor lounge, a 50-seat screening room and lobby cocktail service.

“Confronted with how far Americans were lagging behind in changing our consumption habits, I created 1 Hotels to show sophisticated travelers that they can do good, live well, and connect with both the world and the community around them,” said Barry Sternlicht, founder, chairman and CEO, 1 Hotels and Starwood Capital Group. “Today, with the opening of 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, my vision is now realized. We were able to select every material and develop mindfully, yet the space’s main purpose remains to serve, entertain and inspire with some of the best amenities found in the New York hospitality market.”

1 Hotels will open properties in Mexico, China and California by the end of 2019 with properties in Cabo San Luca,s Haitang Bay and Silicon Valley.

High-Spirited Hong Kong: The Dynamic Hub Embraces Its Maritime History and Culture

It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
