For a long time, the <a href="http://www.starwoodhotels.com/whotels/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=3154">hotel's website</a> was sittin' pretty with an "Opening 2010" splashed up across the top, and the only news we were hearing about the place were coming in the form of updates on the latest construction disasters and some rather upsetting outdoor terrace views. However, the site doesn't have a whole lot of info about the hotel itself (no amenity lists, bookable rooms or particularly groundbreaking renderings well, except for this one of the sky bar, above), but at least there's a Jenna 2009-06-19T10:17:35-05:00 40.7091430 -74.013660 New York: No W For Downtown NYC Until 2010 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/4/29/151234/258 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/wdowntowndelay.jpg" class="top"> Oh, New York City. You have so many visitors and so many hotels and so many opportunities and so much wonder and merriment and oh, so, so, so many hotel delays. The latest in hotel delay news today comes to us by way of an eagle-eyed tipster, who noticed the opening date of the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/W%20New%20York%20Downtown">W New York Downtown</a> had quietly changed on the hotel's <a href="http://www.starwoodhotels.com/whotels/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=3154">website </a>from "Summer 2009" to the vague "2010," which is particularly upsetting because it is now the only W property on the coming-soon-from-Starwood roster without a concrete opening date posted. You know, kind of like being the only kid in the high school graduating class who has "Undecided" listed as his Jenna 2009-04-29T15:13:36-05:00 40.7091430 -74.013660 W New York Downtown's Bar Will Not Have Intoxicating Views http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/4/7/11931/37589 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/123_washington_looking_out.jpg" class="top"> Hmm. There is a distinct possibility that the first martinis we will sip at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/W%20New%20York%20Downtown">W New York Downtown's</a> will be garnished with pieces of...a building. We realize that New York is a big city and there are buildings everywhere and they're close together and whatnot, but we're not going to let this one go by: <a href="http://curbed.com/archives/2009/04/07/fidis_w_hotel_not_playing_nice_with_its_neighbor.php#more">Curbed reports</a> today that sales at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/W%20New%20York%20Downtown">W New York Downtown's</a> residential portion have been slow though the hotel portion of the building is still expected to open up this summer (let's not hold our breath) and much of that may have to do with the fact that its neighbor, a soon-to-be-razed <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/2/10/15015/5205/hotels/Don_t_Expect_A_Huge_Party_for_W_NYC_Downtown_Opening">Deutsche Bank Building</a> that was Jenna 2009-04-07T11:57:02-05:00 New York: Don't Expect A Huge Party for W NYC Downtown Opening http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/2/10/15015/5205 <![CDATA[ <img src="/files/8580/WNYCDowntownDeutscheBankBldg.jpg" class="top"> When the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/W%20New%20York%20Downtown">W NYC Downtown</a> opens later this year, don't expect a huge blow-out party to celebrate the opening like <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/w%20hotels">W Hotels</a> are known for doing. In fact this hotel may open with nothing more than a press release and the ability to book rooms on the W Hotels website. In today's <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/02102009/business/rooms_with_a_horrible_view_154311.htm">New York Post</a>, Joseph Moinian the developer of the project stated his concerns for how many rooms will be available and how soft of an opening it will have. The majority of the hotel rooms face the abandoned Deutsche Bank building which is slowly being deconstructed after suffering major damage from the 9/11 attacks.

This was one of the hotels <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/6/20/101913/505/hotels/W_Downtown_NYC_Will_Probably_be_Delayed">caught up</a> in that whole "cranes falling from the sky" fiasco which shut down the crane at this site and other sites throughout NYC. Then to make matters worse - the cement truckers union in NYC is currently on strike - further delaying progress of the site. Well with all that, we're happy to report that construction is still proceeding - we witnessed plenty of workers around the site doing whatever it is that they do. And that concrete truck shortage?
