W South Beach Not Opening Until Summer 2009

We spoke too soon when we rounded up Starwood Hotels upcoming properties yesterday and told you the W South Beach would be opening on March 1, 2009.

True, this is what it says on W Hotels own website. But we came across this press release this morning about a loan for the hotel. There's a lot of financial speak that may confuse those of us without an MBA or even a basic Intro to Finance class, but this bit is clear as day:

W South Beach Hotel & Residences is currently under construction at 2201 Collins Ave. and is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2009.

And so now we wait.

Sorry to any SPG members who were hoping to use their points this season in Miami Beach. But we bet the neighboring Gansevoort South must be happy to have at least one full season to themselves.
