Progress Report: 2008 New York City Hotel Openings

The Standard NYC, March 26, 2008.

At the start of the year we put out our annual New York City Openings Preview where we round-up some of the hotly anticipated hotels for the upcoming year. Since there's been a lot of buzz lately on a few of these properties we thought it was time for a progress report.

· Thompson LES: A February 2008 opening date has come and gone. The hotel is now expected to open in "Spring." However, it might be worth the wait. A giant photographic mural of Andy Warhol is expected to cover the bottom of the rooftop pool.  

· Thompson Smyth: Uh-oh. One step forward, five steps back in Thompson Hotel Land. The Tribeca outpost is now expected for Winter 2009.

· Greenwich Hotel: Opening on Tuesday!

· Sanctuary: We got some fuzzy renderings in the mail but an opening is not expected until 2009.

· Cooper Square: Drama amongst hoteliers Peck and Moss continues, late Summer opening is now expected.

· The Vu Hotel: March 2008 opening has been pushed back to "Summer."

· Standard NYC: Last we heard was Fall 2008. Thanks to real-time construction pics (see photo above) we have to say that probably still stands.

That's all we got for now. Any tips or updates? Send 'em our way.
