We have to wait until February to see the W New York Downtown Hotel, but thanks to the marketing of the W New York Residences in the same building, we get to have a peek at some of the property’s public spaces.

The new structure just south of the new Freedom Tower site was designed by Gwathmey Siegel Architects, with interiors by Graft. It will house 255 hotel rooms and 233 condo units, some furnished. In addition to the obligatory restaurants, bars, and gyms, both hotel guests and residents will be treated to that most coveted of New York amenities: the outdoor space.

Hurrah!<p>We've actually waited <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2006/2/15/15478/4050/hotels/Kimpton_Hits_Up_Los_Angeles">a long time</a> to see this hotel come to fruition and so far, things are looking very good.<p> This here is room 1918, a vista deluxe guestroom on the top floor. The reason that it's called "vista" is because it offers a killer view of the Westside. Some rooms facing west at this hotel will even give guests a view of the ocean, provided it's a clear day. Just remember, that doesn't happen in juliana 2008-05-07T12:16:17-05:00 34.060039 -118.43740 Miami Beach: Viewlicious: A Sneak Peek at the Gansevoort South in Miami Beach http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/2/19/105819/132 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/gvoortsing.jpg" class="imgborder"><p><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/2/15/11383/9314/hotels/Guess_The_Hotel_The_Advanced_Edition"><i>Guess the Hotel Revealed!</i></a><p>Last week we were fortunate enough to get a sneak peek at the upcoming <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Gansevoort+South+%3A%3A+Paradiso+Miami/local/125"><b>Gansevoort South</b></a> in Miami Beach which we have been dying to see for quite some time now.<p> The hotel is aiming to open the second week of March and that will be a true soft opening, meaning only a few floors will be open but they will open both the main pool area overlooking the beach and the rooftop pool, as well as the Beach Club.

What's going on there? Well Around Midtown breaks it down:<blockquote><p>Now construction is finally at the point where you can see some of their plans unfolding, which include painting the predominantly cream building a slate color, accented by a linear black effect up the building. The retaining walls at the ground level are being covered with a slate.</blockquote></p><p>While anything is better than a <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/4/17/162439/629/hotels/Fugly_Sheraton_Hotels">fugly Sheraton</a>, we have a feeling the folks in Hotlanta might get sick of W Hotels soon.
