Located in Brooklyn’s Boreum Hill, this 196-key boutique hotel features a design inspired by the neighborhood’s historic production of ropes used in shipping and sailing. The process of rope making is the most influential aspect of the design, as Schermerhorn Street was the longest street available for stretching rope during the early 19th century, eventually known as the “rope walk.” This is found in design elements throughout the hotel including in the lobby “woven rope art” sculpture, in the knotted carpet detailing in the guestrooms, and in the accent wall covering, featuring hand-drawn vignettes of rope-making and shipbuilding, in the guestrooms.
