Guess The $15,000 Hotel Lounge Coffeemaker

Time for another round of Guess The Hotel! This week, we go inside a new property opening next Monday (there's your first clue) with 116 rooms and a lobby restaurant. Excited? Wait, it gets better.

To give you a feel of the space, we took a snapshot inside the second-floor lounge, whose name reflects the hotel's location. Wink wink. Take a look at this WMF Bistro coffeemaker and just let its shiny new-ness bathe you in a halo of light. In case you were wondering, this baby sells for a cool $15,000. That's almost the cost of a two-month stay at the hotel itself! Ready for some more hints? See below.

·There is no traditional "lobby" per se here; just a ground-floor entrance where guests check in, and the second-floor lounge where this photo was taken. Incidentally, the machine next to the $15,000 coffeemaker is a special filtered water fountain that dispenses hot, cold, and soda water. Double cool!

·Assouline will stock the library of coffee table books, which should make for some good fireside reading.

·When certain guests tried to book a reservation here last month, they were quickly re-routed to another nearby hotel, by the same brand. Keepin' it in the family.

·When we first took a look at the rooms, we said the design looked kind of "Andazy," and that the name was slightly unoriginal.

Any ideas yet? Put down your thoughts in the comments below!

More to come on Tuesday!
