Heard Around the Hotel World
We have spies all over the hotel industry who like to send various miscellaneous tips our way. Some of these are post-worthy, others are not much more than one sentence tid-bits. So here's the latest batch of whispers through the hotel grapevine.
Sanctuary in Times Square New York has not started construction yet although March was supposed to be the first month. Apparently, the developer has switched architects.
Philippe Starck will redo the Le Meurice, the oldest palace hotel in Paris. This might be the last deal he closed before he entered into a 15-year exclusive contract with the new SLS chain from Sam Nazarian.
Cabo Azul Resort & Spa will open in September with a 5-star look done by interior designer, Dodd Mitchell who recently renovated the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The resort will feature a 5-story open-air wedding chapel, a tri-level infinity pool, a Yin and Yang spa and cabanas on the beach.
