HotelChatter || More 1 Hotels Are Coming To New York and Cleveland

After a long silence there is finally word from Barry Sternlicht's 1 Hotel and Residences for not one, but two projects! 1 Hotel & Residences New York, and 1 Hotel & Residences Cleveland (yes, that's right, Cleveland).

As we reported previously, the 1 Hotel & Residences New York is aiming to be one of NYC's first LEED Certified hotels, and will be in green company by being across the street from Bank of America's new high rise - New York City's first LEED Certified office building and at the foot of Bryant Park. After initially announcing the project back in 2006, it seems as though ground will finally break in August, with an opening date in late 2010 or early 2011.

And now, for the big news - the first new 1 Hotel & Residences location to be announced since 2006 - 1 Hotel & Residences Cleveland! While the location may not be as high roller like Miami, or Los Angeles or Baltimore (not like we're hinting Barry) - it's going to be located in America's first LEED-ND Certified development called The Flats East Bank. The 1 Hotel & Residences Cleveland will have 150 hotel rooms, 50 condos and of course the obligatory B.R. Guest restaurant.

And lastly, we just found out that 1% of all revenues from the 1 Hotels throughout the world will be donated to local environmental groups. Ah, yes, just another reason why we love Barry Sternlicht so much.
