The W Hollywood Gets Pushed Back To January 15th; Will Still Be Paparazzi Central
On our way back home from Los Feliz last night, we were cruising down Hollywood Boulevard and noticed a giant gleaming W sign in the distance. It could only mean one thing--W Hollywood Hotel and Residences is getting close to opening.
The official opening date is not until January 15, 2010 (pushed back from December 3 and reservations don't start until January 28) but the hotel is nearing completion, at least on the exterior.
We took some late-night shots for you which you can peruse in our gallery here. The place is going to be massive, especially since there are residences attached to the building and a Red Line metro stop that runs through the building.
The location is proper Hollywood on Hollywood Boulevard, between Vine and Argyle with the Pantages Theater directly across the street with plenty of nightclubs as well as the Hollywood and Highland complex within walking distance.
Also across the street is the temporary W Talent Show, where they are hiring prospective employees. And we have to say, Hollywood is the only place where the W Talent Show actually makes sense.
But perhaps the biggest telltale sign of the clientele they are hoping to attract is the billboard on the front of the hotel, right next to the red W. It's for Radar Online, a celebrity gossip site. Which means all the scandalous stuff that happens at Drai's nightclub on the 11th floor (opening mid-January) could be posted online within a matter of seconds.
