We Finally Have an Opening Date for The Chatwal
It's official: The Chatwal will, indeed, open. Well, according to the Leading Hotels of the World website, anyway: NewYorkology has stumbled upon an opening date! A date! Not just a nebulous time period like "early 2009" or "this winter"!
A bit of backstory: we've been watching this 88-room hotel for a while now. It sits in the Times Square space that was once the iconic Lamb's Club and has been in the works for ten years. It was originally supposed to be called the Lamb's Club Hotel, but it will finally make its debut as The Chatwal (named, of course, for the one and only Vikram Chatwal, the oh-so-modest hotelier behind hotels like Dream, Night and Stay.Hotel).
Drumroll please: expect the doors to open on the 41 rooms and 47 suites on February 1st, 2009. And again, this is according to the LHW booking page for the property; The Chatwal's own site still says the hotel will be ready in "late 2008."
What you can expect:
The Chatwal, New York is a salute to the Manhattan "baby grand" hotels of a bygone era. Beautifully restored and modernized by master architect Thierry Despont to a jewel-like quality, The Chatwal, New York's guestrooms explore every modern luxury imaginable in a setting reminiscent of the deco period in this landmark Stanford White building.
No reservations are being accepted just yet, but we'll keep you updated.
