“This opening is the latest example of Hilton’s growing presence in the world’s most sought-after destinations,” said Shawn McAteer, vice president, global brand management, Hilton Hotels & Resorts. “Hilton has set standards of excellence in hospitality for nearly a century and we are ready to redefine the guest experience in Brooklyn with this hotel. With its prime location and on-site restaurant and bar helmed by one of the borough’s most celebrated chefs, Rob Newton, guests will immediately feel in the heart of it all in this thriving community.”
The Best of the Borough
Visitors and locals alike looking to experience authentic Brooklyn fare do not need to travel far as celebrated chef Rob Newton is bringing a piece of the borough into the hotel with his newest venture, Black Walnut – set to be one of the neighborhood’s hottest new gathering spots. The restaurant, his fourth in Brooklyn, will bring diners a more dynamic, versatile interpretation of Southern cuisine’s many cultures and traditions with a menu that reflects both Newton’s Arkansas roots and years of global travel.
With nearby attractions including Barclays Center, Brooklyn Heights Promenade, Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the hotel puts guests within steps of many quintessential Brooklyn experiences. In addition, Hilton Brooklyn New York is a stone’s throw from 12 different subway lines, ready to whisk visitors to compelling Manhattan attractions.
A Brooklyn Landmark, Remembered
Capturing the neighborhood’s eclectic vibe, Hilton Brooklyn New York’s design aesthetic includes a rope motif that pays tribute to the Schermerhorn rope factory that previously occupied the site in the 19th century, braiding rope for New York’s shipbuilding industry. Guests will find references to the site’s history throughout the new-build hotel’s stylish interiors, which are the work of architecture and interior design firm Stonehill & Taylor. Among these references are carpeting patterned with rope imagery running the full length of corridors, and murals of vintage neighborhood maps lining the walls.
A Space for Every Occasion
With 2,300 square feet of dedicated function space, Hilton Brooklyn New York can accommodate up to 140 attendees for meetings and social events. For business and leisure travelers who want access to services and facilities on their own schedule, the hotel’s round-the-clock amenities include a 24-hour fitness center, a business center, grab-and-go pantry and concierge service.
“We are delighted to be working with Hilton to introduce news levels of hospitality to Brooklyn’s exciting and ever-changing downtown,” said Don Urgo, president and CEO of Urgo Hotels & Resorts. “As New York City continues to attract a record-breaking number of tourists each year, Brooklyn is now being recognized as a destination all its own, and Hilton Brooklyn New York is strategically placed at the center of it all.”
