New York: First Look at the Crosby Street Hotel

The Crosby Street Hotel has a website! Oh, glorious day! Not like we were checking every single day or anything, but this afternoon we were pleasantly surprised when the www.crosbystreethotel.com URL took us to a lovely and lively Firmdale page that led us to a purple sphere of wonder and merriment that appeared to be the official Crosby Street website — and there are pictures!

Granted, they're black and white pictures — but they're pictures. And the place looks...quaint! Quaint, but modern — and the place, as we have already found out, will have a courtyard, a lobby bar and a screening room.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/crosbystreetjune.jpg" class="top"> Is it bad that we have become so jaded and doubtful of a hotel's ability to open up as scheduled in this day and age (and by "day and age" we mean, of course, time and place: recession in the big city) that when we hear of a hotel on track to open a few months away, we sort of just sit back and wait for the delay announcements to come in? You know, for the delays to be delayed. Yeah, that's kind of bad, right? Because it is, rather sadly, the first thing we thought when we'd heard the <A href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Crosby%20Street%20Hotel">Crosby Street Hotel</a> was still on track for an end-of-September opening (pushed back from <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/5/16/92737/6944/hotels/Firmdale_s_Crosby_Street_Hotel_Opening_in_March_of_2009">March</a>).

We think that after <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/12/20/93252/483/hotels/The_Crosby_Street_Hotel_Both_British_and_Green">nearly two years of delays</a> it's totally fair of us to be getting impatient with the progress of the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Crosby%20Street%20Hotel">Crosby Street Hotel</a> in SoHo. We've even started to get skeptical about their promised <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/3/5/101158/3507/hotels/Sniffing_Around_the_Shell_of_the_Crosby_Street_Hotel">September 2009</a> opening. But perhaps we should have a bit more faith. The Firmdale website still says September, and it's getting close enough for them to know whether a major delay will be happening (or so we like to believe). That, and the media is twittering with tidbits of information, like the fact that Jakob Hansen, currently general manager at one of Firmdale's London hotels, Charlotte Street,

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/CrosbyConstruct1.jpg" class="top"> Yesterday was a beautiful (albeit freezing cold) day for a little hotel construction reconnaissance, and so we quickly found ourselves staring up at the Soho shell which will eventually become the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Crosby%20Street%20Hotel">Crosby Street Hotel</a>. Our last bit of news on the progress of this 85-room property, the first in America from the people behind London's popular <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Soho+Hotel/ian/223825">SoHo Hotel</a>, was to expect <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/2/26/95249/8060/hotels/Crosby_Street_Hotel_Delayed_Until_September">a September 2009 opening</a> after originally being delayed from this month. To this optimistic date, we say yeah, right. Seriously, by the looks of the site, they should have just gone for broke and given it until next winter, especially if they expect LEED Gold certification. Then, if they up the pace of

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/crosbystreetfunnymap.jpg" class="top"> Another day, another delayed NYC hotel. Sigh. <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Crosby%20Street%20Hotel">The Crosby Street Hotel</a> is going to be the first American property from London-based <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/firmdale%20hotels">Firmdale Hotels</a>, the folks behind <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Covent+Garden+Hotel/ian/128239">Covent Garden</a> and the across-the-pond <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Soho+Hotel/ian/223825">SoHo Hotel</a>.

But we'd also found out that a liquor license had been approved already so, you know, we had some faith. Yet when we checked in on Firmdale's website, we found this: "Firmdale's next project is the Crosby Street Hotel due to
