I have to say I'm less than enthused as well.

I approached the hotel front desk with a friend this evening, and the girl literally seemed spooked that I was in front of her face. Not a good sign.

She also said they're "officially crossing their fingers" for a "late March" opening for the rooftop.

I really celebrate what the Peninsula Tokyo did with their soft opening... opening a small part of the hotel up before releasing all of the rooms, to get the staff used to the flow of the hotel. But the Thompson BH really has overdone the idea of a soft opening. They opened before the namesake was changed, with cranes still bringing things up to the building. Limited amenities might be alright for a soft opening, but this hotel has been so soft for so long...

Will it last? The truth is that it might.

But Montage BH. She's coming...
