This week our class went on a field trip to ” The 1 hotel” located in Brooklyn, NY. When our class arrived we were immediately greeted and began our tour through out the hotel; below are the things that stood out to us as guests
The hotel is located in the Dumbo neighborhood right near the Dumbo pier; You have access to stellar views of the historic Brooklyn bridge & one world trade center right outside your window
this hotel has a restaurant located on the ground floor and is available to serve guests whether they lodge or not. the dƩcor has a homely feel to it giving off that traditional restaurant vibe
Residing here as guest; gives you access to the gym located on the second floor. luckily The amenities’ do not end at the gym;
“The 1 Hotel” has a vast selection of amenities’ for all guest such as Wi-Fi, complementary snacks, and iPad for each room to call upon room service and or concierges
An expression of unique hospitality that was very present to us was the hammock located in the pent house suite we visited next; this and the other amenities displays the hotels intentions of making sure your stay at this hotel shouldn’t differ from what you are used to at home
Some terms that we saw in ” The 1 Hotel ” that are still new to us were
-Occupancy: the difference between rooms used by guest and the available rooms usually written in a ratio

Yes, the hammock in the suite truly shows a unique expression of hospitality.
