We've heard rumblings that Cooper Square Hotel will probably turn into a Standard Hotel now that hottie hotelier Andre Balazs owns the place. AB's involvement with the hotel was already public knowledge when his signature was discovered on some liquor license documents back in September.

Now, after the initial shock waves have settled, we're starting to wonder: what exactly is in store for this bizarre, overlooked hotel located in Manhattan's thriving East Village? Though only two miles from the Standard, the crowds here differ greatly from those of the Meatpacking District. But will the hotel, under the new Balazs regime, adapt?]]> ASchechter 2011-10-12T14:35:01-05:00 New York: The Easiest Job Of Annie O's Life http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/6/9/84741/58743 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/IMG_2964.JPG" class="top"><p>Moroccan-born publicist <b>Annie Ohayon</b> has found her perfect job: curating a music series on top of Manhattan's <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Cooper+Square+Hotel/local/247"><b>Cooper Square Hotel</b></a>.

After a press preview last night, the Gotham Hotel's new restaurant, Tenpenny, will open for dinner service tonight. With the Trilby at the Cooper Square Hotel opening the doors six days ago, Tenpenny is the second food-and-bev operation in Klaus Ortlieb's mini-pire to open in the past week.

Nevertheless, we learned that Peck was still in on an ownership level and that Cooper Square would be opening sometime in April 2008.<p>But then we received a tip from HotelChatter reader Low Pro who says that Matt Moss is pursuing another partnership with Cooper Square's general manager Klaus Ortlieb. <blockquote><p>I know for a juliana 2007-10-08T13:03:38-05:00 40.727769 -73.990788 Search HotelChatter Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
