No View from The Vu Until February

UPDATE:The VU Hotel is actually taking online reservations beginning February 16th, not March as we previously stated. So get booking!

The Vu Hotel was supposed to be open by now but it doesn't look like guests will be sleeping there until March.

We hit up the hotel website and despite a friendly line telling us to book our reservations now, we couldn't get anything to come up until March 15th. When we did, we found a king superior room with 1 king bed for $299 a night. That's not too bad but the room category is tiny, ranging from 250 to 275 square feet. A king deluxe bed bumps up to 300-sq.ft. at $319 a night.

All rooms will have 11-foot-high ceilings with large loft casement windows, Frette bed linens, L’Occitane toiletries, and a safe designed to fit a laptop computer. Wireless internet access is listed as "available" which means not free as Kimpton started charging at their NYC hotels a few years ago. But remember, if you are an InTouch Member, you can sign on gratis.
