How to get to Ace Hotel Brooklyn from the airports
From LaGuardia (LGA) the fastest option is a taxi or rideshare; the drive typically takes 25–35 minutes depending on traffic. From John F. Kennedy (JFK) use a taxi/rideshare for a direct trip or take the AirTrain + subway/LIRR for a cheaper transit connection; Newark (EWR) is usually a longer taxi ride or a combination of NJ Transit + subway. Ace Hotel Brooklyn is at 252 Schermerhorn St, directly across from the Hoyt–Schermerhorn subway station.

From LaGuardia Airport (LGA)
LaGuardia is the closest major airport by road. A taxi or rideshare is the simplest door-to-door choice and avoids transfers; travel time depends on traffic and typically ranges around 25–35 minutes.
Public transit from LGA requires an airport bus to a subway connection (or Q70 to Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Av for an E/F/M/R connection) and at least one subway transfer; it is cheaper but involves carrying luggage and transfers.
- Taxi / rideshare: direct to the hotel; follow driver to Boerum Hill/Downtown Brooklyn
- Q70 LaGuardia Link to Jackson Heights, transfer to subway toward Manhattan, then transfer to local Brooklyn lines — cheaper but involves transfers
- If you need assistance with a car transfer, the hotel concierge can arrange transportation on request
| Option | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Taxi / rideshare | Simple, door-to-door | More expensive, traffic dependent |
| Airport bus + subway | Lowest cost | Requires at least one transfer and managing luggage |
| Hotel-arranged car | Pre-booked and convenient | Arrange in advance with concierge |
From John F. Kennedy International (JFK)
For a direct trip, a taxi or rideshare takes you straight to Ace Hotel Brooklyn; travel time varies with traffic. If you prefer public transit, take the AirTrain to Jamaica Station and transfer to the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) to Atlantic Terminal or take the AirTrain to Howard Beach and transfer to the A subway.
From Atlantic Terminal you can walk or take a short subway or taxi ride to the hotel; from the A subway at Hoyt–Schermerhorn it’s a 1–2 minute walk. The AirTrain + LIRR/subway route saves money compared with a taxi but requires transfers.
- AirTrain JFK → Jamaica Station → LIRR to Atlantic Terminal → short walk/subway/taxi to 252 Schermerhorn St
- AirTrain JFK → Howard Beach → A subway to Hoyt–Schermerhorn (or nearby) → 1–2 minute walk
- Taxi / rideshare: direct and simpler if you have lots of luggage
| Transit route | Typical steps |
|---|---|
| Cheaper public transit | AirTrain → Jamaica → LIRR to Atlantic Terminal → walk/subway/taxi |
| Direct road | Taxi or rideshare straight to the hotel |
| Subway-only alternative | AirTrain → Howard Beach → A subway → Hoyt–Schermerhorn station |
From Newark Liberty International (EWR)
Newark is across the Hudson and typically takes longer by road than LGA or JFK. A taxi or rideshare is the simplest single-vehicle option but can be subject to extended travel time with cross‑river traffic.
Public-transit options combine NJ Transit or Amtrak to New York Penn Station, then a short subway ride (e.g., A/C via transfer) or a taxi into Brooklyn. These routes are generally less expensive than a direct taxi but include transfers.
- Taxi / rideshare: door-to-door but time varies with cross‑Hudson traffic
- Train option: NJ Transit to Penn Station → subway (e.g., A/C lines via transfer) or LIRR to Atlantic Terminal → short connection to hotel
- If arriving late at night, confirm train schedules — taxis/rideshares may be the more reliable option after service hours
| Option | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Taxi / rideshare | Traveling with luggage or arriving off-peak |
| NJ Transit + subway | Lower cost and daytime arrival |
| Amtrak | If you arrive on an Amtrak flight connection and want rail into Penn Station |
Subway, LIRR and AirTrain connections
Hoyt–Schermerhorn (A, C, G) is directly across the street from the hotel — use this station for quick links from other subway lines after transfer. Atlantic Terminal (LIRR) and Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center are nearby and provide additional connections.
If you arrive by AirTrain at JFK, transfer points are Jamaica (for LIRR) and Howard Beach (for the A subway). From LGA you’ll typically use the Q70 bus to Jackson Heights and a subway transfer into Manhattan/Brooklyn.
- Hoyt–Schermerhorn: A, C, G lines — immediate access to the hotel
- Atlantic Terminal / Barclays Center: LIRR and additional subway lines within walking distance
- AirTrain JFK connects to Jamaica (LIRR/subway) and Howard Beach (A subway)
| Station | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Hoyt–Schermerhorn | Directly across from Ace Hotel Brooklyn |
| Atlantic Terminal | LIRR access from JFK via Jamaica |
| Jamaica (AirTrain connection) | Transfer point to LIRR for Atlantic Terminal |
Taxis, rideshares and hotel-arranged cars
Taxis and rideshares provide door-to-door service and are the most direct option from any airport. Travel time and cost depend heavily on traffic, especially coming over bridges into Manhattan or crossing the Midtown/Brooklyn corridors.
The hotel can arrange car or town-car service on request through concierge. If you plan to use a taxi or rideshare, allow extra time for peak-hour traffic.
- Taxi / rideshare: quickest from curb to hotel, best with luggage
- Hotel-arranged car: request in advance via concierge for a pre-booked transfer
- Allow extra travel time during morning and evening rush hours
| Service | Best for |
|---|---|
| Rideshare / taxi | Door-to-door convenience with luggage |
| Hotel-arranged car | Pre-booked, meet-and-greet service |
| Public transit | Lower cost, flexible schedules during the day |
