Hilton Brooklyn New York
Brooklyn, NY
Interior Design
Stonehill Taylor a designed a new build, 196 key boutique hotel for Hilton in Brooklyn’s downtown neighborhood, Boerum Hill. The distinctly unique concept is based on the neighborhood’s historic production of ropes used in shipping and sailing. The rope-making process 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 the lobby’s “woven rope art” sculpture and the guestrooms’ knotted carpet detailing and accent wall coverings, featuring hand-drawn vignettes of rope-making and shipbuilding.
