Coming soon to Barclays Center: The battle of the trendy hotels.
Lodging-industry leaders are throwing their considerable clout into two Downtown Brooklyn hotels being built close to Brooklyn's popular new arena – and two very different types of attention-grabbing concepts are being deployed.
Both new hotels will seek to capitalize on their proximity to Barclays, which in its recently finished first year in business became the Numero Uno concert venue in America.
One will be part of a high-end Marriott boutique hotel group whose iconic properties include the storied Algonquin. The other will be a new brand of hotel for health-and-fitness-conscious travelers created by InterContinental Hotels Group.
Here's the skinny on 95 Rockwell Place, the glamorous glass tower that's soon to start construction – its developers have hooked up with Marriott. To get the word on InterContinental's trendy new offering, the EVEN Hotel, see related story.
The hotel franchise, or “flag,” at 95 Rockwell Place is the Marriott Autograph Collection, city Department of Finance records reveal.
There's been plenty of press coverage on the fabulous hotel design by high-profile architect Thomas Leeser (including ours). But builder Second Development Services and hotel operator VOS Hospitality haven't publicized their Marriott connection.
It's expected to give them a leg up in launching their swanky 201-room hotel, which will have a rooftop bar, a banquet hall and a performance space in the basement.
“Marriott is known as having the strongest reservation system in the world,” a source said.
Hotels must meet high standards to be brought into the Autograph Collection – and have something unique to offer.

Nice! So it's this hotel, BAM North site 1 and 2 on the same block as this hotel, Two Trees tower across the street, and the Steiner apartment tower! 5 new buildings in this small radius. Exciting times are ahead!! It's pretty evident Brooklyn is HOT!
and this is ONLY in the BAM District!
I want more height but I know that's coming! I fell it. I still feel City Point (phase 3) will be the tallest/signature tower. Until someone else proposes something else. Which I hope will be soon.
