New Hilton Hotel Opens in Brooklyn

NEW YORK

Hilton Hotels & Resorts celebrated its arrival in Brooklyn’s Boerum Hill with the opening of Hilton Brooklyn New York. Presiding over the corner of Smith and Schermerhorn Streets, a tree-lined enclave of chic shops, trend-setting restaurants and a lively night scene, Hilton Brooklyn New York is a 19-story mixed-use commercial, retail and condominium development that offers 196 guest rooms and suites.

“Hilton has set standards of excellence in hospitality for nearly a century and we are ready to redefine the guest experience in Brooklyn with this hotel,” said Shawn McAteer, VP, global brand management, Hilton Hotels & Resorts. “With its prime location and on-site restaurant and bar helmed by one of the borough’s most celebrated chefs, Rob Newton, guests will immediately feel in the heart of it all.”

Visitors and locals alike looking to experience authentic Brooklyn fare do not need to travel far as celebrated chef Rob Newton is bringing a piece of the borough into the hotel with his newest venture, Black Walnut. The restaurant, his fourth in Brooklyn, will bring diners a dynamic interpretation of southern cuisine with a menu that reflects Newton’s Arkansas roots and years of travel.

With nearby attractions including Barclays Center, Brooklyn Heights Promenade, Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the hotel puts guests within steps of many quintessential Brooklyn experiences. In addition, Hilton Brooklyn New York is a stone’s throw from 12 different subway lines.

Hilton Brooklyn New York offers 2,300 square feet of dedicated function space, which can accommodate up to 140 attendees for meetings and social events. The hotel’s round-the-clock amenities include a 24-hour fitness center, a business center, grab-and-go pantry and concierge service.
