Female-founded productivity brand brings private, reservable-on-demand workspace pod to newly renovated hotel in the heart of Brooklyn
BROOKLYN, New York, Jun. 13, 2025 – ALCOVE and Hilton Brooklyn are proud to announce their new partnership, which will place one of ALCOVE’s premium productivity pods in the lobby of the recently renovated hotel, owned by Ohana Real Estate Investors. This partnership introduces a new amenity for both hotel guests and Brooklyn locals: a private, reservable ALCOVE Pod, beautifully designed for calls, heads-down work, and moments of productive peace and quiet.
ALCOVE is a privacy-on-demand network of premium soundproof pods in residential neighborhoods and hotels, delivering an unparalleled guest experience. 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. Customers can reserve time in each Pod as needed, in 15-minute increments, through the ALCOVE app.
Hilton Brooklyn will be the first hotel to host this type of guest experience and amenity. Nestled on a charming brownstone-lined park in Boerum Hill, Hilton Brooklyn offers guests a wide array of amenities – from recently renovated rooms to convenient access to public transit, with a deeply rooted neighborhood feel that makes it the ideal partner for ALCOVE’s first hotel launch.
“At Hilton Brooklyn, we’re always looking for ways to thoughtfully evolve the guest experience,” said Paul Schwartz, General Manager at Hilton Brooklyn. “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.”
“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.”
Knight is a Brooklyn-based consultant turned entrepreneur who created ALCOVE to solve a problem she lived every day: needing a quiet space to get things done in a crowded city. With a growing community of customers requesting a location in Boerum Hill, ALCOVE found a perfect home at Hilton Brooklyn – a hotel that reflects ALCOVE’s values of hospitality, design, and seamless experience. This first-ever hotel location joins ALCOVE’s existing stand-alone flagship in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
“I created ALCOVE because I needed ALCOVE,” Knight said. “Coffee shops were loud, my apartment was crowded, and co-working spaces didn’t offer reliable privacy. I wanted something simple: a private pod I could book on-demand, designed so that I would look forward to spending time there. The Hilton Brooklyn team immediately understood our mission and provided the perfect setting to bring ALCOVE to their community.”
“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.”
The ALCOVE Pod at Hilton Brooklyn launches June 23 and will be available to reserve on-demand seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Reservations can be made at alcovenyc.com/reserve.
