1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge
Public at weekends, private during the week, the very adult rooftop pool at the 1 is less about the swimming and more about the chilling. Cheek-by-jowl with the hotel’s rooftop garden and bar, a noted purveyor of craft cocktails and light bites, the view from the L-shaped infinity plunge pool is dominated by a jaw-dropping panorama of Lower Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge and – for those paying attention – Lady Liberty on the horizon. An integral part of the post-Hipster scene in DUMBO, the Neighbourhood Formerly Known As Gritty, the 1 revels in its use of reclaimed materials and features a plethora of pieces created by the kinds of artists that called this area home before the tech workers moved in and rents became unaffordable.
