<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/DoubleTree_by_Hilton_New_York_Times_Square_South_Lobby.jpg" class="top">The new lobby at DoubleTree Times Square SouthWe told you last month that <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/DoubleTree%20Hotels">DoubleTree</a> was planning on taking over the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Wyndham+Garden+Hotel+Times+Square+South/local/1410">Wyndham Garden Times Square South</a>which, we can safely report, officially transpired. However, the rooms remain intact, as well as the ground-floor cafe, Greenhouse 36, so not much has really changed except for the name. And the added bonus of a welcome cookie. But this neighborhood hasn't seen the last of Wyndham! Oh, no. Just one block south, this month the brand is launching <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Tryp+By+Wyndham+Times+Square+South/local/4959">Tryp by Wyndham Times Square South</a>. So we thought we'd do a little compare/contrast to see which of these two (verrry similar) hotels is worthy of your dollar. For starters? The price.

New York: Tryp by Wyndham to Open in Times Square on February 1

Now that we've got this monster list off our backs, it's time to start breaking down some notable openings one-by-one. Today we're starting with the Tryp by Wyndham Times Square South which will finally open on February 1st.

We found a non-refundable rate of just $161.10 on opening night for a deluxe king bed. Regular rates for that same room category are only a bit more at $179 a night. If you want to try and squeeze in some of your friends, a guestroom with two queen beds, a sleeper sofa, a refrigerator, microwave and wet bar was going for $269 a night.

A tipster let us know that the hotel on West 36th Street will turn into a <a href="http://doubletree1.hilton.com/en_US/dt/hotel/NYCSQDT-DoubleTree-by-Hilton-Hotel-New-York-Times-Square-South-New-York/index.do;jsessionid=BC5082B59FD7F24974AF08AFD1D005AD.etc57">DoubleTree Hotel</a> on February 6. Wyndham has already pulled the hotel off its website and we presume it's undergoing some slight updating to get ready for the DoubleTree takeover.But the loss is really no big deal to Wyndham considering that they have another Wyndham Garden hotel just 12 blocks south in Chelsea on 24th Street. We guess the upcoming <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Tryp%20By%20Wyndham">Tryp by Wyndham Hotel</a> in Times Square, just one block over, will be <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/11/3/203543/424/hotels/An_Unexpected_Tryp_To_Wyndham_Garden_">re-routing guests</a> to this property from now on.

New York: Tryp By Wyndham Gets A Sign

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/Tryp2.jpg" class="top">It looks like things are coming along at the new <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Tryp+By+Wyndham+Times+Square+South/local/4959">Tryp By Wyndham</a> near Times Square. Though the hotel has definitely breezed by its planned November opening, a near-finished lobby (see photos below) and newly-installed signage should mean we start to see some action here after the holidays. This is of course just a fraction of the mega hotel explosion that New York City is about to endure over the next few years, as per <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/11/15/92121/020/hotels/Mayor_Bloomberg_Gets_Serious_About_New_Hotels">Bloomberg's vision</a>. But all 7,000 hotel rooms are not created equalnor do they simply appear overnight. For instance, over the next few months, we should be looking at a new <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Conrad+New+York/local/4796">Conrad New York</a> (fancy art), a <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Hyatt%20Hotels">Hyatt</a> in <a
