SUMMARY

Fortune favors the bold. Ace Hotel Brooklyn seeks kind, curious and industrious humans to join our family.

Ace Hotel’s home here is in Boerum Hill on the cusp of Downtown Brooklyn, at a geographical Venn diagram of overlapping energies from the tree-lined streets and brownstones of Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens all the way down to the restless East River.

As You Are is an all-day affair, a bar, restaurant and bakery that serves seasonal, from-scratch fare dawn and through dusk. The Lobby is our womb-like hub offering all who pass through a place to enjoy a coffee, a cocktail or a comforting bite. Now all we need is you.
