All this week we will honor Earth Day by putting the spotlight on eco-friendly hotels. Got an Earth Day Hotel suggestion? Let us know. It looks like the W Hoboken is trying to clean up New Jersey's rep. Instead of being known as the place that spawned Jersey Shore...

Sorry, we just can't get enough of New Jersey today!Considering shacking up at the W Hoboken soon on a trip to the NYC-area? While we have no issues with the hotel itself (it's a new W on the waterfront), we feel you should be aware about what's going on...

The Jersey Shore reality show on MTV is the show you just can't bring yourself to look away from. Being from New Jersey, we initially refused to watch the show (especially since most of these folks aren't even from NJ) but one night when we consumed enough liquid courage...

So the New York Yankees won the World Series last night and we're sure The Hotel Indigo Chelsea has popped plenty of bubbly for their Philly guest losers. But the celebrations aren't over yet. The city of New York will throw a traditional ticker tape parade to honor the...

By the end of this month, the W Hoboken will have been open for two months already; quite a feat considering how many delays we've fretted over and how many times we've personally staked the place out. With all components of the property functioning properly as far as we...

As we mentioned this morning, we hit up last night's grand opening bash of the W Hoboken, the newest property (and, fun fact, the smallest-city location) from hip Starwood chain W Hotels. And, like, yeah: it was Hoboken. What we want to know is this: how the F (or...

The bridge and tunnel crowds that flood NYC every weekend won't much longer to wait for a nightlife option closer to home as the W Hoboken is expected to open on March 18th, according to its website. Of course, Starwood keeps doing that weird thing where they open the...

Looks like we correctly sized-up the progress of the W Hoboken yesterday; we've received a delay confirmation for what will soon be North New Jersey's hotel sexpot. Straight from the hotel's rep: "W Hoboken is set to start taking reservations in mid-March, with an official grand opening on April...

New York has a full dance card for 2009 hotel openings, and with the way it's going, the W Hoboken is set to become the most under-hyped new arrival. Of course, not if we can help it. Checking in on the construction site yesterday, we were able to conclude...

If all goes well, Jerseyans will have two spanking new Starwood Hotels to hang out at in the New Year. The Life Vicarious blog tipped us off with that latest news on the W Hoboken and Westin Jersey City. The Westin Jersey City is due to open on February...
