City Center |
Ecologically Friendly Environment |

We offer 5 friendly, safe, comfortable rooms in a welcoming house with lots of light and grace. Escape is a quiet retreat tucked just outside the hectic and congested thoroughfares of Manhattan. The rooms hold a blend of modern and antique furniture and artwork from around the world, but the effect is restful and casual. There are no collections of cluttery Victorian furniture nor any installations of lace or ceramics.
Breakfast conversations change daily with the guests; frequent topics are politics and theatre (both local and abroad). We have hosted orchestras, designers, actors, directors, scientists, professors, artists, and authors from across the US and around the globe.
If you have friends or family coming to visit, or have ever wanted to explore the unique charms of Brooklyn - from chef-owned restaurants and shops featuring local designers to
historic architecture and modern development - then Escape Guesthouse is right for you! |
