Steeped in history and standing as a testament to human ingenuity, the Brooklyn Bridge has been a cornerstone of the city’s infrastructure since 1883. Spanning the East River, the bridge is so impressive that a trip to New York City would be incomplete without a visit. There’s also a host of fun things to do at either ends of the overpass. On the Manhattan side, there’s South Street Seaport, Pier 17, and One World Observatory (from which the city’s major sites are vividly in view), 9/11 Memorial Pools and Museum, and views of the Statue of Liberty at Battery Park. In Brooklyn, you can relax at Brooklyn Bridge Park, and take in the breathtaking Manhattan Bridge and skyline views from Dumbo. To save you from choosing to pledge allegiance to one side over the other, opting for one of the hotels near Brooklyn Bridge gives you the best of both worlds. It takes around an hour to walk over (or less if you hop on a Citi Bike), so you can easily stroll between must-see sites. The hotels here have been selected not only for location, but for the outstanding level or service, facilities, and range of accommodations.
