Hotel Guide: Brooklyn, New York

So you have found yourself in Brooklyn, New York? This city has made itself famous through film and television as being the place of many cop dramas, etc. But, little do people know that Brooklyn is actually New York’s most populous borough, having nearly 2.5 million residents. This city is known for having such a wide array of residents, giving it the nickname, “The Planet.” This is due to the fact that so many different nationalities and eclectic personalities call Brooklyn home, giving it a unique “planet” feeling. Well, this uniqueness spans far beyond just its inhabitants. There are some amazing hotels within this borough, and I have researched and reviewed the top three of these hotels for your consideration. So sit back and find your perfect hotel within this “planet.”

The first hotel in which I reviewed is the Marriott NYC Brooklyn Bridge. This three-and-a-half-star-hotel rests directly in Brooklyn’s law, government, and corporate centers. This Marriott hotel is literally surrounded my courthouses, government offices, and corporate headquarters, it is to no surprise that this hotel caters mainly to a business clientele. When guests enter this lobby, they are escorted by an escalator past green-marble trim and outdoor plants, to a second-level lobby. Some of the various amenities this hotel offers its guests includes a 8,000-square-foot health club, with a seventy-five-foot, four-lane, indoor lap pool and a six person spa tub.
