1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge

According to former guests, one word best describes a stay at this Brooklyn, New York, property: "amazing." Featuring a green theme, each of the hotel's guest rooms and suites offers nature-inspired decor (think: reclaimed barn wood accents) dreamed up by local artists. Eco-friendly amenities include filtered water taps and custom mattresses with organic bedding. Visitors will also find modern perks, such as yoga mats, Nespresso coffee makers and LCD televisions. But 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge's pluses are not limited to its accommodations. Fitness buffs can break a sweat in the 24-hour fitness center, while R&R-seekers can treat themselves to holistic treatments at the Bamford Haybarn Spa or lounge by the rooftop pool. Unique event venues like a private screening room and the Social Space, a 5,000-square-foot room with corrugated metal columns and floor-to-ceiling windows, are also available for weddings and business functions. Meanwhile, food and beverage options range from a rooftop bar and lounge to a farm-to-table eatery to Neighbors, which serves casual dishes made with artisanal products. After filling up on gourmet fare, travelers can check out the Brooklyn Bridge (which is just north of the property) or hop on the subway to reach other attractions in New York City.
