Not to mention the ever-buzzier <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/W+Hotel+Hoboken/local/753">W Hoboken</a>. But that's not even the point. At the center of this all is a single man by the name of David Barry, president of Hoboken-based real estate development company Ironstate Developments (which worked on both of those properties.) And boy does he set his sights high! In addition to two upcoming New Jersey projects, Barry is in the midst of a W Marrakech (as in, North Africa), and, most interestingly, a joint venture with <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Andre%20Balazs">Andre Balazs</a> on a Terminal 5 hotel at

That's new to us! But should you ever find yourself in the leafy suburb of Summit, New Jersey, "Mad Money's" Jim Cramer will welcome you to <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+DeBary+Inn/local/4841">The DeBary Inn</a>, a sort of bed and breakfast spot that's billed as an "executive boutique inn." While there's nary a mention of of Jim Cramer's name on the inn's website site, the top banner of the page features Cramer doing his tough money manager crossed-arms pose.

The hotel launched its Pet Stay Atlantic City program yesterday. Bring your dog and youll be accommodated in its New Orleans Tower with dog treats, mat, food and water bowls, disposable waste bags (ugh) and a duffle bag for you to keep (lest you think its all about the dog). There is also a designated PetStay area
