The recently renovated Hilton Brooklyn has forged a partnership with ALCOVE, which will place one of its premium productivity pods in the lobby of the hotel.
Hilton Brooklyn—which is owned by Ohana Real Estate Advisors—will be the first hotel to host this type of guest experience through ALCOVE, which is a privacy-on-demand network of soundproof pods designed for residential neighborhoods and hotels. The private, reservable ALCOVE Pod is designed for calls, heads-down work and moments of productive peace and quiet, according to the company.
“At Hilton Brooklyn, we’re always looking for ways to thoughtfully evolve the guest experience,” Paul Schwartz, general manager at Hilton Brooklyn, said in a statement. “Partnering with ALCOVE allows us to offer something truly unique: flexible, private space that serves our business travelers and our neighbors. We’re excited to be the first hotel in the country to offer an ALCOVE Pod as an amenity to our guests.”
“This is exactly the kind of unique and guest-centric partnership we look for at our portfolio hotels,” said Amanda Pomeroy, principal at Ohana Real Estate Investors. “ALCOVE reflects the type of innovation, design and community-oriented thinking we believe in. It’s a meaningful addition to Hilton Brooklyn and a thoughtful amenity for today’s traveler.”
Each 4’×7′ ALCOVE Pod is soundproof up to 30 decibels and custom-fitted with an adjustable sit-stand desk, multi-fan ventilation, Wi-Fi access, second monitor, ergonomic leather chair, thoughtful decor, charging ports and a dimmable interior light, according to the company. Customers can reserve time in each Pod as needed, in 15-minute increments, through the ALCOVE app.
Nestled on a brownstone-lined park in Boerum Hill, Hilton Brooklyn—which features recently renovated guestrooms—provides a deeply rooted neighborhood feel that makes it the ideal partner for ALCOVE’s first hotel launch, according to the company.
“ALCOVE’s mission is to deliver privacy that professionals can count on, whenever and wherever they need it, without sacrificing comfort or convenience,” said ALCOVE founder and CEO Helen Knight. “Our guests never have to worry about where to take a call, and they love every minute they spend in an ALCOVE Pod. Partnering with Hilton Brooklyn lets us offer the best of both worlds: inspiring private space in the heart of Brownstone Brooklyn, with the comfort and hospitality Hilton is known for.”
