Overview

The NU Hotel is a unique and beautiful hotel to stay at in Brooklyn. This boutique hotel draws its inspiration from Brooklyn’s energy and channels the distinct personality of the borough. With a minimalist design and modern aesthetic, it showcases the rich heritage of the borough through artwork from local NU perspective artists.

Each of the hotel’s 93 suites and rooms are loft inspired, with a subtly sophisticated yet casual look. They feature cozy chairs, comfortable beds, and hardwood floors. Each room has one chalkboard wall inside the bathroom which allows guests to create their own masterpiece or simply scribble away. There are many different styles of rooms, some with bunk beds and hammocks.

The NU Bar & Lounge, found in the hotel’s lobby, is the place to have a cocktail and sample some of the tasty local fare. Menu items include Stinky Bklny’s Pimento Cheese Spread, which comes with potato chips or pretzels or the famous Brooklyn Brine pickles, which go well with one of the local beers.

Pros (+) Live jazz with drop in performers was dynamite to come home to after a long day working! My room had beautiful wall paintings of a large bird and enormous, luminous trees - really made me feel special each day. Great place to start and finish each day!
Cons (-) I picked the hotel for the location, convenience of the parking garage, and funky feel. I was not disappointed.

Pros (+) Great value for what we paid. Room was very clean and comfortable. Nearby area is interesting to walk around for window shopping and eating. Breakfast quality is great.
Cons (-) They charge an additional fee that includes breakfast, wifi, and use of the fitness center. It would be more straightforward to include that in the base rate.
