We hope so!A while back we once wondered who would ever win the restaurant race of the summer in Miami--Mr. Chow at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/W+South+Beach/local/126">W South Beach</a> or STK at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Gansevoort+South+::+Paradiso+Miami/local/125">Gansevoort South</a>. Well, Mr. Chow was clearly the winner but we thought that STK would have its stuff together <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/9/23/162212/512/hotels/STK_Finally_Opening_Inside_The_Gansevoort_South_With_Coco_de_Ville_To_Follow">"this fall"</a>. Turns out we thought wrong.A tipster snapped these shots of the STK space at the hotel and from the looks of it, we don't think it's going to be opening before 2009 is out. We're not sure what's taking so long with this space as we've been waiting for STK since

The ONE Group just put out a press release today announcing the restaurant's opening "this fall." Here's what to expect, according to the press release:<blockquote>A catwalk across the back bar delivers a dramatic production as guests ascend to the mezzanine level of the restaurant, and a glazed screen, spanning the double height space of the main atrium, depicts an abstract shape of a woman's body reflecting off the glass. Upstairs, a second dining room complete with a bar and private dining space overlooks

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/gvoorttto.jpg" class="top"> We thought having to wait until 2011 for the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Gansevoort%20Toronto">Gansevoort Toronto</a> was already too long of a waiting period but thanks to credit woes, it looks like we'll have to keep waiting some more. Maybe forever. <a href="http://www.sceneadvisor.com/todays-headlines/canned-projects-big-budget-dreams-cant-get-off-the-ground-11534.html">Scene Advisor</a> reports that the project has been "halted" before ground was even broken. They also said that construction was to begin in 2010 with an opening date of some time in 2012. But we think you will to wait even longer.We checked in with the hotel's construction company, TAS DesignBuild, and Steve Fernandez said this about hotel's construction timeline: <blockquote> Final opening date is not confirmed, as will commence with the start of the selling of the project.</blockquote>Hmmm....According

Miami Beach: Overheard at the W South Beach Pool

MsRebecca — 2009-09-03T10:09:45-05:00

During our recent stay at the W South Beach, we did some morning pool reconnaissance around 11am on a Saturday.

The group, mostly women, seemed to be visiting for their male ringleader’s birthday, and were discussing how everyone had fared after the previous night’s partying. (“Who woke up naked?” was asked without sarcasm.)
