The Thompson Beverly Hills was rumored to open sometime in November but HotelChatter has finally nailed down a date--November 5th. This is also the same date that the Bond Street restaurant should open inside as well.

However, according to the Beverly Pavilion website (the hotel was open in between renovations from a Best Western to a Thompson Hotel), the rooftop deck and pool won't be ready until February 2008. From the Thompson Hotels site which is short on hotel info, we grabbed the rooftop rendering above. Remember, here's what that used to look like.

After the jump, more hotel openings news.

· Also in Thompson Hotels opening news, Curbed and Down by the Hipster are rightfully doubting the December opening of the Wall Street property, Gild Hall. But the folks at Thompson Hotels say the hotel will soft-open on December 1st with only a third of the rooms open. The rest of the hotel including a restaurant (which is to be announced shortly) will fully open in mid-March 2008.

We have reason to believe that Thompson Hotels is adhering to schedule more these days than in the past but you know Six Columbus is still a big blemish on openings file.

· As we mentioned last week, the Custom Hotel near the Los Angeles airport is soft-opening today and Travelzoo is offering rooms for as cheap as $99 a night.

· In Atlanta, The Ellis Hotel opens today. Formerly known as the Winecoff Hotel, the Ellis has reopened after extensive renovations which totaled around $27 million. The hotel was the site of a deadly 1946 fire that killed a 100 people but its new owners are trying to distance the place from its sad past.

Designed with a contemporary flair— the walls and floors are deep brown and the furniture retro — the Ellis features 127 rooms with Ostrich leather headboards set against bamboo ascent walls, flat screen LCD TVs, radios with iPod docks and wireless Internet.... And for security-minded women travelers, one floor has been set aside for them exclusively.

And the hotel's general manager assures the entire hotel's fire system is up to code.
