Nicky O'fficially O'ver and O'ut
Well it is official. As we first told you almost two weeks ago, Nicky O sleeps with Las Rambalas now. Nicky Hilton's short lived career as a semi-hotelier is finished.
A Chicago development group is ditching plans to work with heiress Nicky Hilton to convert the Hotel Blake in Printers Row into a Nicky O's Chicago. "While we are always evaluating the marketplace, we anticipate that the property will remain as the Hotel Blake for the foreseeable future," Robert Falor, president of Robert Falor Investments, said Tuesday in a statement. The company also is dropping a similar conversion planned for the Breakwater hotel in Miami's chic South Beach. Nicky Hilton and her representatives could not be reached for comment.
Hotel Blake will remain the Blake, at least for now, and who knows what will happen to the old Edison Hotel on Ocean Drive, which is gutted at this point.
In any event, we are sure Nicky and her Balenciaga bag will resurface somewhere, probably in LA, and may even attempt a return to the hotel game, however it is time to stop holding out hope that Nicky O is going to happen. Shocking we know.
Despite what you might think, we are actually bummed about this. Not as upset as we were when Clooney's "upscale" Vegas project went up in flames, but bummed nonetheless.
