Ace Brooklyn is a 13-story, 287-key hotel at the burgeoning intersection of Boerum Hill’s brownstone-filled neighborhood and the ever-expanding commercial district of Downtown Brooklyn. Stonehill Taylor is the architect for the project, working alongside Roman & Williams, the interior designers and façade designer of the project.
Situated atop a subway tunnel, the exposed concrete building features an interior spring garden. Guest rooms begin on the third floor, and floors 5-13 each have 29 rooms. The project’s scope is 155,000 square feet, and it stands 140 feet above street level. Employing clever building techniques, Stonehill Taylor overcame unique challenges posed by the site, the location of the MTA subway tunnel beneath 70% of the site, and the requirement to limit tunnel vibrations into the hotel’s guest rooms.
