We blame it on the Turkey Dinner. Last Monday, we heard from Thompson Hotels that Smyth Tribeca would be opening in January. And our mouths literally dropped open. But they insisted that it was true. So it was either the turkey we ate two days later or the sheer idea of this hotel opening in January that caused us entirely to forget about it.

But NewYorkology did not. According to the hotel's own website, rooms will be opening on January 6th starting at $205 a night. Here is the room description:

Our Queen Superior room measures 260 sq ft and features a queen bed with custom made 400 thread count SFERRA linens and is decorated in a contemporary design with vintage wine accent colors, rich walnut paneling and furniture, polished chrome light fixtures and features a sleek stainless steel desk. The full marble bathroom is lavishly designed with rain showerheads, luxurious fixtures, a centerpiece floating sink and features a floor-to-ceiling translucent glass shower wall that discreetly separates it from the bedroom.

Oh god. We loved the rainshower at Thompson LES. We sincerely hope it's the same one.

A Jour Et Nuit ("Day and Night") restaurant will be opening inside, although we're not sure when. You know how Thompson likes to open piece by piece. Rounding out the rest of the hotel are killer suites, 24-hour room service, a bar and lounge and presumably a fitness center. You can bet we'll be there opening night.
