The 30 Best Hotel Openings of 2021

For the Ace Hotel Brooklyn, at the edge of downtown in Boerum Hill, New York-based Roman and Williams Buildings and Interiors, working with project architect Stonehill Taylor and in-house studio Atelier Ace, wove the brand’s minimalist design language into an urban modernist dream. Past the concrete façade, there is a ceramics installation by sculptor Stan Bitters, leading to a profusion of white oak, Douglas fir, and earthy hues of olive, brown, and wine. To complement the onsite gallery, textile artworks, curated by Niki Tsukamoto, fill the 287 guestrooms that wink at Le Cabanon, Le Corbusier’s sanctuary by the Mediterranean Sea.
