To be safe, the hotel has this listed on their <a href="http://newyork.wallstreet.andaz.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp">website</a> under "Reservations": <blockquote><p> Rooms are now available for booking from a check-in date of February 15, 2010 onwards.</blockquote></p><p>Given that we've been waiting for Andaz Wall Street to open forever (literally, forever!) we say it's best to err on the side of caution and book your stay for late February.

The opening rates start at an incredibly affordable <b>$109</b> a night for a Supreme City King suite that has 704-square-feet of space. Here's the official room description:<blockquote><p>Dark wood floors give way to luxurious carpet, as the foyer enters the living space.

Bummer (Are they not quite finished or sold-out? That is still the question.) However, rooms were open for next weekend at $260 a night for a Wonderful room. <p>But now it looks like the hotel has an opening "offer" that gives you some perks beyond just a room for the night. The <b>W Boston Opening Experience</b> includes in-room welcome cocktails; a chef-selected dessert at Market by Jean-Georges, a limited edition <a href="http://www.cynthiarowley.com/">Cynthia Rowley</a> scarf (exclusive to the W Boston) and a VIP Insider discount card to Cynthia Rowley that gives you 20 percent off all juliana 2009-10-28T14:23:25-05:00 42.3471617 -71.079299 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/26/222544/09 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/wbostonbedroom.jpg" class="top"><p> The last time we checked on the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+W+Boston+Hotel+and+Residences/local/1563"><b>W Boston</b></a>, the hotel was set to open <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/9/17/122847/254/hotels/Thanks_to_Money_Issues_The_W_Boston_Will_Now_Open_on_October_22nd">October 22nd</a> except the opening has now been delayed until <b>October 29th.</b> But if you're looking to spend Halloween weekend here, the hotel is not showing any availability. <p>Could they be sold-out or just not quite open to guests? We're not sure. However, next weekend, Nov. 6-8, is open for your "Sensory Pilgrimage" at $260 a night for a Wonderful non-smoking room. A studio suite is also available for $350.<p>The rooms are predictable W style, they didn't re-invent the wheel here or anything as the rooms promise high-design, high-technology and cleverly nicknamed amenities.

But having just received our latest Quikbook.com newsletter advertising rates of $249 for the new hotel, we assumed it was open now. But we must have pulled out our <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/books/humor/8e6c/images/2070/">"Jump to Conclusions" mat</a> by accident.<p>Rooms were not available for tomorrow night on Quikbook.com. However, November 16th was open for $249 a night for a standard king with complimentary breakfast. The hotel's website is also not showing rooms open until November 16th. So we think you can guess what we recommend for booking this hotel--wait until November 16th. But book through Quikbook.com.
