The LES Hotel Scene:: East Houston and Thompson LES Race to Finish Line

Where: 151 East Houston Street [map], New York, ny, United States, 10022

On our way down to the LES yesterday for a meeting, we noticed this upcoming hotel on Houston Street. It's actually called The East Houston Hotel (the cross street is Eldrigde.)

A quick visit to the hotel's website tells us the place is "Coming Soon" but will include a restaurant (no name yet), a rooftop, and state of the art guestrooms (queens and doubles.) The place will be a little high-tech too, boasting a "high security keyless entry system", high-speed internet and free local phone calls. There will also be "obersized" showers although that's not a high-tech gadget, just a typo.

Curbed's been following this place for a while--there was once a mention of a February opening--but judging from the brown paper tacked inside the windows, we give this place a few more months to open at best.

Coincidentally, the East Houston Hotel is just steps away from Jason Pomeranc's monstrous Thompson LES hotel which as you can see after the jump, is still under heavy construction.
