We had almost forgotten that the long-awaited, first ever NYLO Hotel would be opening this year. Such is the danger of a prolonged hotel hype--we keep hearing over and over that a hotel is going to open "soon" and then after a few years we forget that it actually will.

Anyways, we have Chef Wiley Bates III to indirectly thank for the NYLO Hotel in Plano, Texas opening reminder. That's because Bates was hired as the hotel's food and beverage director. He will oversee the urban loft-style bar and 24-hour, three-meal restaurant called Loft (pictured above.)

With its whimsical Dallas-meets-Soho-meets-South Beach décor, The Loft will welcome guests and be a popular neighborhood gathering spot.... Like the entire hotel, The Loft is designed by Stephane Dupoux, the creative design force behind premier restaurants and nightclubs around the globe. Among Dupoux' designs: Buddha Bar and Cielo, New York City, and Pearl and Nikki Beach, Miami's South Beach.

Ooh sounds pretty hip for Plano, no? As for the Warwick, Rhode Island location, expect that hotel to open in Summer 2008.
