The hotel’s timeless architecture and light-filled interiors attract discerning locals and cool-hunting guests alike, as does the range of dining and drinking venues conceived by Bar Lab Hospitality, the creative force behind Broken Shaker.

These include Mesiba, a festive, Tel Aviv–inspired restaurant serving Levantine cuisine; Bar Bedford, a destination cocktail bar and all-day café; Jolene, a high-energy sound room with a state-of- the-art audio and light system; and LilliStar, an indoor/outdoor rooftop bar whose terrace has breathtaking views of the Williamsburg Bridge and the Manhattan skyline. Bright, airy rooms emphasize natural materials and space-saving design solutions, a large backyard garden provides a spot to unwind alfresco, and flexible co-working and meeting studios serve the needs of Brooklyn’s creative class.
