<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/34094/naomi_watts.jpg" class="top"> Naomi Watts and her honey, Liev Schreiber spent the past couple of days hanging out at some NYC hotels. On Monday, the Aussie beauty struck some poses for a photo shoot outside of the <a href="<a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hudson+Hotel/local/58">The Cooper Square Hotel</a> with her photographer bro Ben Watts behind the camera. The actress, who will star in the upcoming flick The International, glammed it up with some little black dresses on the streets of New York. Then Watts and Schreiber turned out to support Ben at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hudson+Hotel/local/58">Hudson Hotel</a> on Tuesday. The celebrity and fashion photographer threw a book launch party at the hotel for Lickshot, his new photo scrapbook and travel diary. The book features gritty photos, Polaroids,

Apparently, someone was doing some kind of photoshoot that didn't involve wearing pants. And it could be seen from the street. Did someone quickly discover the pretty views from the guestroom and decide the CSH would be a prime location for a photo sesh, or are these photos going to be

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/coopersquarelobbyvertical.jpg" class="top"> This morning, our friends over at <a href="http://curbed.com/archives/2008/11/04/cooper_square_hotel_is_the_new_face_of_the_bowery.php">Curbed</a> pointed us toward <a href="http://www.worldarchitecturenews.com/index.php?fuseaction=wanappln.projectview&upload_id=10566">World Architecture News'</a> feature on the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Cooper+Square+Hotel/local/247">Cooper Square Hotel</a>, which spotlighted the first-ever photos of hotel's lobby and finally offered an explanation of the building's curious shape. (It was actually meant to evoke "a face starting small at the neck and widening upwards" and not so much a shark's fin or a sail). When we first glanced at these lobby shots, we thought they were kinda "meh" <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/10/17/155932/89/hotels/Cooper_Square_Almost_Open_Looks_Just_Okay_">like the rooms</a>. After looking at them for longer than two seconds, however, it seems that we've arrived at a conclusion: we're loving the spectacular natural light -- and that's about it.

New York: Cooper Square Almost Open, Looks Just Okay

Curbed has posted some snapshots of a long-awaited, $375-a-night Cooper Square Hotel guest room and well...don't get too excited. It's just a'ight.

We kinda hope the place would be mind-blowingly cool on the inside, given its crazy architecture. But it just looks safe to us. Even Curbed commenters think so. Some observations from the galleys:

· What a boring looking hotel.
· Eeeeewwww, damn its like 70's cheap.
· I've always wanted to sleep in a conference room circa 1971.

Hopefully, they will be tweaking the room design during the soft-opening. Otherwise, we're shacking up at the Thompson LES.
