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

Ace Brooklyn is anchored by a vibrant culinary program that's as inspired and culturally alive as the neighborhoods around us.

As You Are is an all-day affair, a bar, restaurant and bakery that serves seasonal, from-scratch fare dawn and through dusk.
