BROOKLYN, NY—Dazzler Hotels, an upscale collection of properties by Argentinean brand Fën Hotels, has opened its first hotel in the U.S. here at 85 Flatbush Ave. Extension.
Inspired by the borough and incorporating a modern design aesthetic, Dazzler Brooklyn is located downtown near restaurants, shops, nightlife and landmarks, including the Brooklyn Museum and Barclays Center.
The hotel incorporates historic touches of Brooklyn throughout its design and amenities, and will soon offer Eataly products in its minibars. Amenities include complimentary continental breakfast daily and free WiFi.
“Dazzler Brooklyn will welcome guests from every corner of the world to the vibrant Downtown Brooklyn area, with an upscale hotel experience offering an authentic vibe,” said Carlos Gareis, general manager of Dazzler Brooklyn. “This is the first Dazzler brand hotel in New York and we look forward to becoming a part of this vibrant community, especially as local residents enjoy our Beer Garden opening this fall.”
The creative direction and design was led by Brooklyn-based cloth Interiors. “The Brooklyn aesthetic we drew from is a mix of vintage style with the modern aesthetic,” said Szandra Toth, founder of cloth Interiors. “Dazzler Brooklyn is closely situated to the crossover between Manhattan and Brooklyn, which provided us with distinct location inspiration and the opportunity to merge the glamour of Manhattan with the industrial feel of Brooklyn.”
The lobby features a concrete staircase, oiled-wood floors and contemporary furnishings. The hotel’s elevator features reproductions of historic maps of the area, and polished-brass accents in both the metal work and the light fixtures.
There are 174 guestrooms, including 154 Classic Rooms (average 250 sq. ft.), 14 Junior Suites (300 sq. ft.) and six Executive Suites (450 sq. ft.) featuring an entry foyer, living area and sofa sleeper. Frette bed linens, a selection of C.O. Bigelow Apothecaries bath products, rain showerheads, marble bathroom sink area, Internet-ready smart televisions, self-serve mini bar and complimentary WiFi are offered.
There is a Café & Espresso Bar serving breakfast and lunch.
Additional services include a fitness center, in-room dining, business center, express dry cleaning and 24/7 parking garage on site. The hotel features meeting and event space as well.
