Know Your Manhattan Hoteliers

Ask and you shall receive. In a story the other week about the possible cold war thaw between feuding hoteliers Gregory Peck and Matt Moss (actually, that was just wishful thinking. The frenemy war rages on still), we asked for a copy of the Page Six magazine featuring some of NYC's hottest hoteliers.

And a kind soul sent us a copy!

In it, you see Jason Pomeranc (with ever-present arm candy/fashion publicist/girlfriend Ali Wise), Matt Moss and Greg Peck (totally did not pose together), scary Sean MacPherson and partner Eric Goode, the ever-dapper Andre Balazs, grunge hotelier Alex Calderwood of the Ace Hotel brand and chefs/restauaranteurs Todd English and Ken Friedman.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/cooperapril08.jpg" class="imgborder">Not much new to report here folks. <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Cooper+Square+Hotel/local/247">Cooper Square Hotel</a> is still not open. And it still has no website. So we're highly skeptical of a late summer opening which was the last predicted date for the hotel (after the April/May 2008 time frame came and went)Indeedy, we are even hearing some rumblings of a late fall opening, leading us to ask "Will we even care about this hotel when it finally does open?" Eh...we probably will. Afterall, we still got giddy when Six Columbus <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/10/1/10126/2130/hotels/BREAKING_NEWS_Six_Columbus_is_Open_and_Taking_Guests">finally opened.</a>On another note, we hear Page Six Magazine managed to get the feuding hoteliers Matt Moss and Gregory Peck together for an article in its latest issue. Could this be

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/nyoHL.png" class="imgborder">Dear Diary, We can't believe it! Matt Moss and Gregory Peck, once besties growing up on Long Island, are like totally never speaking to each other again.We kinda figured there was some trouble brewing when we <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/9/9/151313/1047/hotels/Gregory_Peck_Talks_Cooper_Square_">interviewed Gregory Peck</a> over the summer about the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Cooper+Square+Hotel/local/247">Cooper Square Hotel</a> and he couldn't put us in touch with Matt Moss, only Matt's publicist. And then Matt's publicist was like "Whatever!" And then we had to rush off to P.E.Anyways, the <a href="http://www.observer.com/2008/two-high-school-friends-one-hotel-trouble">New York Observer</a> totally outed the fight today and all these grown-up investors are like really POed that Moss isn't keeping them in the loop.But like OMG, Matt Moss totally went behind Greg Peck's back and is starting

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/coopersq_tenement.jpg" class="imgborder">We must have missed this over the MLK Holiday but we were recently googling the drama-plagued <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Cooper+Square+Hotel/local/247">Cooper Square Hotel</a> yesterday and we came across this article in the NY Times from January 20th.The topic is how NYC developers are working around tenants who refuse to move or be relocated. This is actually something that Gregory Peck told us about when he <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/9/9/151313/1047/hotels/Gregory_Peck_Talks_Cooper_Square_">talked Cooper Square</a> last summer.The hotel is attached to a four-story tenement building which will not be torn down and will instead continue to house its long-time residents on the top two floors. The Cooper Square Hotel will keep offices on the second floor and basement.We are a bit torn here because no one wants

New York: Snapshot: Cooper Square Looks Almost Done

juliana — 2007-12-26T16:30:01-05:00

Flickr member Jebb of the East Village Podcast has dropped in a new photo of the Cooper Square Hotel in Manhattan. The exterior looks almost done but with a string of recent hotel delays affecting NYC and the rest of the hotel world, we don't think Cooper Square will open before Spring. But have no fear, we'll be keeping a close eye on the "enormous vibrator." (Jebb's words not ours.)
