Hotel Eventi will have its own gym and spa, and private landscaped terraces (some overlooking that much ballyhooed outdoor plaza). Located in an area that was once the flower district and home to the Chelsea flea market, it joins a growing number of hip hotels in the 20s and 30s, including The Ace Hotel, Fashion 26, and a bit further up, The Strand. But when will it open? Kimpton has it listed as “coming soon in 2010/2011” on its website, although CEO Michael Depatie said in one recent interview that Eventi will open “some time next year.” Join us, won’t you, as we enter this into our 2010 Hotel Openings Calendar—in pencil.

Kimpton's Next Hotel in NYC Will Be Quite an Eventi
Now that Ink48 is up and running, it’s time for the seemingly unstoppable folks at Kimpton to start focusing on their next New York property: Hotel Eventi in Chelsea. As with some of its other properties (such as Miami’s Epic), the hotel will share space with apartments, in this case rentals. The Eventi will also share its entire-city-block with retail stores and an outdoor plaza with public seating.
Even better, the developers plan to construct a 20-foot wide screen to be used in the plaza for public and private events. The hotel’s restaurant will also have a long dining terrace overlooking the plaza.
Exterior construction has been progressing above Sixth Avenue in recent months, so it must be almost time to send in the interiors designer. Colum McCartan will bring Eventi’s 287 guest rooms to life, while Philip Koether Architects and Syd Mead will work on the multi-level bar and restaurant, which will be operated by China Grill Management, and the residential section of the building. There are no room renderings to peek at just yet but for an idea of McCartan’s work, take a look at his interiors at Le Parker Meridien New York, Hotel Adagio and Hotel Vitale in San Francisco, and Hotel Sax in Chicago.
