When one hotel door opens, another ... won't open for another few months. Yes, more Hotel Delays news, folks. But we don't feel like we can get too upset about this one since it's a Starwood hotel, and another Starwood property in NYC just opened early. That was the W New York Downtown, while the one delayed is Aloft Harlem.

We're not sure what the hold up is here�maybe the hotel needs to hold another talent show?�but the website now tell us that the opening date has been pushed back from August 19 to October 15.

Actually, if you click a bit deeper, there's a note that says

We open our doors in early September, and are accepting reservations for stays on or after October 15, 2010.

The starting rate for that first night, in a King or room with two Queens, is $289 a night plus tax.

The October date now puts Aloft Harlem much closer to the opening of its cousin in Brooklyn. Its website still says that Aloft Brooklyn will open on October 21, however there is no online rezzie system in place, which makes that date a little tentative for our liking.

We'd call this an inter-borough race to see which Aloft opens first, but it looks like Harlem has a lock on being the first of the brand to debut in New York City.
