Where to stay in Borough Park
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Few hotels operate inside the district. Most of Borough Park is low-rise residential ground between the Basilica of Regina Pacis and the Living Torah Museum, so visitors who need a wide choice of rooms usually book in Sunset Park or over toward Flatbush instead. Streets run quiet after dark.
What the district gives instead is proximity: Green-Wood Cemetery sits along its northern edge, and Bensonhurst and Dyker Heights are a short ride south.

About Borough Park
What are the main landmarks in Borough Park?
Three buildings carry Borough Park's public face. The Basilica of Regina Pacis is the largest, its bulk unmistakable against a district of low residential streets running down toward Bensonhurst and Mapleton. The Living Torah Museum draws a narrower audience.
St. George Coptic Orthodox Church rounds out the set, evidence that the congregations of this corner of Brooklyn have never all belonged to one tradition.
What is the history of Borough Park?
Borough Park's story sits in its institutions. The Basilica of Regina Pacis, the Living Torah Museum, and St. George Coptic Orthodox Church each stand for a community that put down roots in this part of Brooklyn. None of them stands alone.
Boundaries tell the rest: Green-Wood Cemetery and Kensington close the district off to the north, Flatbush lies east, and Bensonhurst, Dyker Heights, and Mapleton press in from the south and southeast.
