How did you feel about going to The 1 Hotel?

I have been to DUMBO very often and I have always seen this hotel curious about going in just because I have never seen a hotel like this. As soon as you enter you are greeted with friendly smiles, warm air, and subtle perfume. I really enjoyed the hotel’s decor, which should be expected considering this is what a boutique hotels focus on. Overall, I didn’t feel like I was at home like what some other hotels focus on, but I would definitely bring some friends/family here.

In my experience, going to Hotel 1 made me realize that things take time. As our tour guide mentioned it took five years to have the hotel built. Knowing this information opened my eyes and made me realize that I must began working on my goals more thoroughly and start learning more about businesses and how they run in order to pursue my future goals.

What was the most significant information you learned while at The 1 Hotel?

There were a lot of things that were significant that I learned on the 1 Hotel tour. The most significant information that I learned was that the hotel reuses a lot of things also known as second life. The decorations on the ceiling were made of mushroom that was molded and baked. Another thing that was reused was the wall decor that was made out of rooftops that were blown on to the floor and an artist created art out of it.

Something of historic importance is the East River Ferry that tourists can take from Manhattan to Brooklyn. The ferry is inexpensive, and you get a great view of the city from the river.
