Brooklyn’s largest hotel, the iconic New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge in downtown Brooklyn, unveils the first chapter of its $43 million renovation and reposition. A dynamic physical redesign combined with authentic Brooklyn experiences will entice guests…starting with their appetites. This month, the hotel celebrates the opening of new chic spaces: The Bar (Greatroom) and exclusive M Club Lounge. At The Bar, a thoughtfully curated menu provides a taste of the borough by showcasing top local food purveyors and businesses from Brooklyn Roasting Company to Brooklyn Winery, Ovenly and McClure’s pickles, to name a few.
The Bar, located off the grand entrance, is the hotel’s new social hub featuring a style that embodies local industrial chic reflective of its downtown Brooklyn neighborhood. Design details convey an urban edge with glass, metal, subway tiles and white marble tops. A focal point of the room is an eye-catching piece of original metal artwork over the fireplace, in which Brooklyn neighborhood names appear. Adjacent to the space, a guarded wooden “gate” unlocks exclusive access to the new M Club Lounge, a signature feature of select Marriott Hotels created specifically for frequent Marriott Rewards members. Tableside food service at The Bar offers a laidback vibe, and a menu that celebrates the borough.
In addition to The Bar and M Club Lounge, the hotel’s Front Desk has been reimagined as part of the renovation. From concierge pods that welcome guests, to a large abstract mural based on a photograph of the Brooklyn Bridge, the contemporary look is modern and vibrant. The redesign of the hotel’s ballroom and meeting rooms, one of the city’s largest and most versatile venues, will be completed in September 2015. Renovations of the hotel’s 667 guest rooms will be completed in 2016.
The New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge features 667 rooms and suites, a fitness center, and more than 40,000 sf of banquet and meeting space. New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge is managed by Marriott International and is owned by Muss Development LLC HomeFed Corporation and Marriott International.
