Duane Street Hotel Taking Reservations for 2008

Where: 130 Duane St. [map], New York, ny, United States, 10013

The ever-delayed Duane Street Hotel may finally be ready for action. A couple clicks on the hotel's website yielded rooms starting at $245 for January 2, 2008. That figure is quite a bit lower than the rack rate, so it may be an opening special.

According to the New York Sun, the Duane Street shouldn't have any trouble filling its 45 rooms: Lower Manhattan is the second-most touristed destination in the city after Times Square.

If the hotel manages to get the doors open in the next two months, we'll have to turn our attention to its 40-seat New American/Mediterranean restaurant 'beca. And of course, that'll leave Robert De Niro's Downtown Hotel as the Tribeca property to watch.
