While we had high hopes of seeing one of our hotly anticipated new NYC hotels opening before Thanksgiving— The Strand in the garment district—it now looks like we'll have to wait another couple of weeks. Cross out that November 16th opening date, folks, and pencil in December 1st. That is the first date showing up on both the hotel's online reservation system, and on Quikbook.
As we reported in our last update, Quikbook is definitely the way to go when booking a night at The Strand. Previously it was showing a saving of $40 per night compared to the rates on the hotel's website. Now those savings are $70. A Superior King is going for $329 a night through the hotel, but just $259 on Quikbook. If waiting a bit longer for the doors to open can save us money like this, we might even be content to wait another week or two.
That would give us time to decide how we feel about the look of the rooms. We dig the clean and elegant vibe they're going for here, but we have to admit the rooms look a bit more spartan than we had hoped. That floral-covered bench at the end of the bed is pretty, but the carpet and the dark headboard? Not so much. But we'll reserve our final judgment until December 1st (we hope ... )
