Hotel Brooklyn

The hotel stands on the site of an old concert venue that hosted big names like The Who, Rolling Stones and even Oasis back in the day. Now it's a self-consciously relaxed and rather trendy hotel that makes a lot not just of its 200 or so comfortable rooms but also of its other facilities, which include the sociable, multi-tiered Grandstand area – a venue for co-working, movie and music nights or just hanging out on comfy cushions and sleek sofas and armchairs. The hotel also has a New York-inspired bar-restaurant, the Lair, which serves an all-day menu featuring everything burgers and ribs to vegan meatballs, as well as cocktails, afternoon tea and bottomless brunches.

The rooms come in various categories but all are provided with king-size beds, fast wifi, Smart TVs, USB charging, air-conditioning and tea-and coffee-making facilities and digital radios.  You can trade up from the basic Club room to the more spacious Executive or Liberty rooms, or to the Governor rooms or the hotel's many suites, which come with super-king-size beds and some with their own hot tubs. The hotel also has multiple accessible rooms and has a number of dog-friendly rooms which come with bowls and canine special menus.
