Hilton Brooklyn New York has completed a $5.5-million extensive renovation. Under the management of HHM Hotels and owned by Ohana Real Estate Investors, the property’s refreshed guestrooms, meeting spaces and communal areas now offer an all-new contemporary, functional design inspired by the hotel site’s past and Brooklyn’s heritage.
“With this renovation, Hilton Brooklyn is reaffirming its commitment to delivering an elevated experience that meets the evolving needs of business and leisure travelers,” said Paul Schwartz, GM, Hilton Brooklyn New York. “From thoughtfully designed guestrooms to enhanced amenities and elevated dining options, every detail has been crafted to ensure a refined stay for our guests.”
The hotel stands on the grounds of a 19th-century rope factory, once the largest producer of rope for New York’s shipbuilding industry, owned by Peter Schermerhorn. Drawing inspiration from the hotel’s history, the updated design from Whitehall Interiors pays homage to Hilton Brooklyn New York’s maritime background with a nautical color palette of cream and navy and the incorporation of rope motifs throughout the hotel.
“The impressive renovation of Hilton Brooklyn thoughtfully enhances the guest experience with modern updates across the property, but with a special nod to its storied past,” said James Cole, partner, Ohana Real Estate Investors. “This important project reflects our commitment to celebrating the unique character of the property while positioning it as a sought-after destination for leisure and business travelers alike.”
The design carries into the 196 guestrooms, blending comfort and functionality to cater to work, leisure and relaxation. Ranging from 315 to 670 sq. ft., the guestrooms and suites offer a color palette complemented by new furnishings, fixtures and art deco touches. Additional amenities include a mini-refrigerator, smartphone docking stations for connectivity, Crabtree & Evelyn bath products and 55-inch HD TVs.
The renovated Black Walnut lobby bar serves up gastropub-inspired cuisine for breakfast and dinner. Designed for shared experiences, the space features all-new custom furnishings.
The hotel now offers 1,740 sq. ft. of updated meeting space. The area can be configured as two distinct 870-sq.-ft. rooms or utilized as a single, expansive venue. Additionally, the hotel offers the option to privatize its dining room and lounge, providing flexible options for gatherings of all sizes.
The property also has an upgraded fitness center with all-new equipment including machines, free weights and Peloton bikes.
