Duane Street Hotel Not Open, But Staffing Up

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

Tribeca's a hotbed of hotel activity right now, but the latest news from The Duane Street Hotel is more of the same: delays. This summer we heard it might be open right around the first day of fall. Now? Seems we have a bit longer to wait.

The property has its own website--as opposed to its previously available Luxe Hotels site--with a few more views of the rooms, but we still haven't seen any real-life snaps of progress. (Website photos are great at telling a different version of the truth.) But the amenities sound promising: free WiFi, in-room spa services and room service

Don't expect it in the next few weeks, though. A post on Craigslist is asking potential desk employees, night managers and restaurant managers to "bring your 5-star style" to the hotel. If Duane Street is just now hiring managers, we're going to say it's not opening in the next couple of weeks.

A call to the hotel's info line just rang and rang--no voicemail. At least Six Columbus answers the phone to tell you the place isn't open yet.
