Hot Hotelier News: Manhattan Edition

September 26, 2006 at 10:42 AM | by | Comments (0)

When it rains, it pours in hotelier world. Page Six reports on some of our favorite hoteliers today:

Jason Pomeranc, who owns 60 Thompson, is opening a branch in Beverly Hills, that will have Jonathan Morr's Bond Street as its restaurant. The Gansevoort Hotel - which is moving into South Beach and Los Angeles - is opening a second New York location on Park Avenue South and 29th Street. The hotel is in negotiations with restaurateur Myles Chefetz to open a Prime 112 - the hottest steakhouse in Miami....

Also, looking for some hotel love is Jeff Klein, he of Sunset Tower and City Club fame, who wants to open another NYC property.

Not that anyone asked, but our advice to Gansevoort is to slow it down. While Gansevoort is always first to market with artist renderings and ambitious plans they may be biting of more than they can chew. The sheer size of Gansevoort South would make even the most ambitious hotelier pause a bit.

As for Pomeranc, we are this close to slapping an embargo on Thompson hype until he finishes Six Columbus.

All that said, believe it or not, downtown Manhattan is ripe for another hotel or two. The smart money is on Klein--because he actually finished the Sunset renovations.
