Get out your Hotel Opening Date Tracking Sheet, friends, because it’s time for a little update on Manhattan’s Distrikt Hotel. We’re dying to see this place: the NYC-neighborhood theme is one of the most interesting we’ve heard of all year, and we can’t wait to see which floors—each named after a different part of the city—will become the most sought after. (It seems apt that the Financial District is on the lowest floor, and Harlem on the highest, no?)

Alas, it looks like we’ll have to wait a few more weeks. While the hotel’s website is still promising an opening in “late fall,” and a press rep for the Distrikt told us the doors would open on November 15th, we’ve since heard that the big day would be pushed back to December 1st.

Indeed, over on the hotel’s Facebook page we found this update (in reply to a Wall post) last night:

We are hoping to open on December 1, but reservations are not available until December 21. As we get closer to opening, we will open more dates.

We’re hoping we’ll be able to at least take a peek at the hotel—or the restaurant, Collage—during the soft opening but if not, we’ll be there will bells on come December 21st. Which, by the way, is the official start of winter (not “late fall”). A technikality? (Ha!) Yes, but an all-important one in our Hotel Opening Date Tracking Game.

Room Rates

Sounds very exciting and love NYC!  Any idea what the room rates will be?

Thanks


Rates

Looks like they'll start at $269 for a Queen, Mark. (No view, weeknight). Rates go up for higher floors, doubles, Kings, etc, which are around $300-329 a night.
