Chatwal's Cheesegrater Pushes Opening Back to Summer 2011
Checking in on The Cheesegrater—aka the Dream Downtown hotel in New York City—we discover that the opening date has again been pushed back. Last we heard, Vikram Chatwal's newest hotel would be opening it's shiny silver doors in March 2011, but a recent press release firmly changes that to "Summer 2011." Okay, so we've got to wait a few more months before checking out its 316 "loft-inspired guestrooms," but it's not like the hotel is filling a need in the neighborhood; its Swiss cheese facade cuddles right up against the rear of the similarly holey Maritime Hotel.
But wait—there's more news floating out of those portholes. The Dream Downtown's future guests will also be able to enjoy a "heated pool with translucent bottom visible from the ceiling of the lobby lounge." Great! We can't wait to be greeted by speedo-ed butts hovering about above us, manatee-like, when we check in.
Now remember that the Dream brand was also recently bought for franchising by Wyndham Hotels, so maybe it won't be too long before other cities get their very own Cheesegraters.
