The Tillary Hotel - Dumbo, Downtown Brooklyn

Having opened its' doors in 2016, The Tillary is one of the newest boutique hotels in the borough of Brooklyn. It also happens to be one of the most on-trend, with captivating, contemporary decor as well as a well-curated list of amped-up amenities.

Only a couple of short subway stops from Lower Manhattan, The Tillary is also just a fifteen or twenty minute Uber, Lyft or Taxi ride to Mid-Town. When convenience is a factor, The Tillary has all the options that you are searching for.

So, why pay Manhattan hotel prices, when you can get the best of everything right here in Brooklyn?

Brooklyn is all about being who you are and rocking what makes a person unique. That vibe is prevalent throughout The Tillary's lobby, meeting spaces and 174 guest rooms and suites.

Designed by Brooklyn-based Cloth Interiors, the hotel combines a chic industrial aesthetic with mid-century modern touches and art-deco cues.

Design elements such as end-grain wood tile flooring and polished concrete with a jewel-toned plush are not your typical everyday hotel "look". But, it all comes together for a pleasing visual experience.

As we talked about earlier in the article, The Tillary's vast array of amenities are so much more than merely the essentials that guests have come to expect when travelling to a city like New York.

From express dry cleaning, dedicated parking, bag storage, limo service on request, a professional business center, a 24/7 front desk to 3,700 square feet of meeting space, which includes a gorgeous ballroom, The Tillary has got you covered and then some.

But, the perks don't stop there. Every guest room and suite contains soundproof windows, an interactive smart TV, a work desk with USB port, Frette linens and premium bath products courtesy of C.O. Bigelow.

The Classic Twin Room is well-suited for co-workers who are in town for a meeting at their corporate office or a convention. This spacious room features two very comfortable twin beds.

At 329 square feet, the Tillary Patio Suite is an enticing blend of luxury and delightful views that will transform even the most mundane day into something special.

A private terrace awaits you, just outside your room's sliding glass door. This is a luxury that is not always available even to the wealthy, here in the Big Apple. Many of the newest, state of the art condos and rental units do not have terrace space. But, at The Tillary, it's yours for the asking.

The Executive Suite is your own personal pied-a-terre in Brooklyn. Despite its' name, this 450 square foot suite is perfect for families, not just business travellers or high rollers.

There 's a cute little entry foyer, a separate living room area with a sleeper sofa, a bedroom that features a huge King bed and a spacious bathroom that has not one, but two sinks. If you're travelling with kids, that is a priceless amenity.

Whether you are in Brooklyn for business or pleasure, saving a nice bit of change is always on the mind of most of us.

The Tillary's Autumn in Brooklyn deal allows you to save big-time with up to 15% off their best available rate when you stay three nights or more.

The Sunday in Brooklyn offer gives you a sensational 20% discount when you arrive on a Sunday and stay, at least, two nights.

Today's savvy traveller expects the hotel that they're staying at to have, at the minimum, one respectable food and drink option. The Tillary has two very inviting places on the premises, where you can refuel and have a good time.

A hip, contemporary coffee shop, designed for today's traveller, The Cafe is open for breakfast and lunch from 7 in the morning until 3 PM.

Serving locally roasted coffee, espresso and cappuccino, The Cafe has a delicious menu of small plates, soups, sandwiches and classic breakfast dishes. Even though there are many other options around the hotel, guests love both the atmosphere and quality of the food here.

An after-work destination that is catching on with the residential community in Dumbo, The Secret Side is a "dive-bar" with flair and aplomb.

Located on the hotel's second floor, this dazzling bar and lounge is a place that's tailor-made to socialize and connect with free popcorn, fantastic cocktails, a list of premium wines and spirits as well as a variety of board games.

You will have a really nice time unwinding here, after attending that boring, all-day corporate conference or contract negotiation.

The bar has an adjoining patio with cosy tables, communal benches, (so all your friends from work can sit together comfortably in one place) and multi-coloured lights that are strung between the shrubbery and small trees that decorate and give life to space.

The Tillary has that lively, happening vibe that sets the really great boutique hotels apart from those that are just average.

The Brooklyn - Bed-Stuy

A boutique hotel that is at the center of the amazing renaissance that is taking place in the Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights neighbourhoods, The Brooklyn is mere minutes away from local must-see attractions like The Barclay's Center, Prospect Park, The Brooklyn Botanic gardens and the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

You are also within walking distance of nearby transportation hubs like the Atlantic Avenue Terminal and Long Island Railroad.

The outside facade is all old-school, vintage Brooklyn. There's nothing at all wrong with the design, but, it could be considered a tad plain for some.

However, first impressions simply will not prepare you for the splashes of color, ultra-chic design and exquisite furnishings that make up the imposing lobby and trend-setting rooms.

To say nothing of the sincere, friendly service that one could say is absolute, positively charming. When you come and go here at The Brooklyn, the front desk staff actually remember your face and greet you heartily by name.

When you enter the lobby, the first sight that greets you is a large wall photograph of a turn of the century Brooklyn brownstone street scene.

This nostalgic trip back in time is offset by trendy purple chairs and other furnishings that are totally modern, without being over the top. Everything complements each other. Nothing jars the senses or appears to be out of place.

The resplendent rooms blend brick-work with wood touches and offbeat but interesting lighting fixtures. They didn't go to Ikea to furnish the guest rooms, that's for sure. Each article of furniture or decor accent has a reason for being there.

A majority of the rooms also have larger than life wall murals or photos of iconic Brooklyn monuments, parks and bridges. Relax on your California King Simmons Euro-top bed, get comfy and take it all in.

Now, we all know that, even in the best hotels, the corridors that you traverse when walking to your room can be rather drab, to put it mildly. We're talking zero personality.

At The Brooklyn, though, your stroll from the elevator to your room will be on some very colorful carpeting. The patterns on the floor really brighten up what could, otherwise, be just another hallway.

Personal touches await you in your room or suite, like complimentary bottled water and a Nespresso machine.

Select suites have a Modern Flames electric fireplace and an in-room wine refrigerator that's fully stocked. The spa-like bathrooms all have multiple LED-illuminated rainfall showerheads and high-tech body sprays.

The fact that the hotel has only 34 rooms and suites is a major selling point for those people who are discerning travellers. One doesn't feel overwhelmed or lost in the shuffle as may happen at much larger hotels, even those of a more stylized boutique nature.

This is one reason, among many, as to why The Brooklyn is a favorite among families who are planning a destination wedding or need lodging for a family reunion.

The superb decor, inspiring guest rooms and outstanding service will come as no surprise, though, when you discover that The Brooklyn's management consulted with none other than celebrated hotelier and hospitality guru, Anthony Melchiorri.

An enterprising man who never stayed in a hotel that he couldn't fix, Anthony Melchiorri is known to one and all as the gregarious and always on-point host of the Travel Channel's hit show Hotel Impossible.

A former general manager of The Plaza Hotel and the creative mind who re-invented Manhattan's iconic Algonquin Hotel, Anthony brought in his company Argeo Hospitality, to help the owners of The Brooklyn give their guests a unique, first-class experience.

Whenever Anthony is involved, there's no end to the carefully thought-out amenities and unexpected but highly desirable surprises that are in store for you during your stay.

The Brooklyn is a shining example of what dedicated hoteliers, who actually care about their guests, can accomplish.

Thanks to the efforts of Anthony and a staff that takes pride in their work, The Brooklyn is now firmly situated on the map of boutique hotels, not just in Brooklyn, but in ALL of NYC!
