This week we received an email from Firmdale Hotels giving us some more info on their Crosby Street Hotel which is now going to open in March of 2009, not at the end of 2008 as we had first thought.

CROSBY STREET HOTEL will be situated in SoHo between Prince, Spring and Lafayette. It is an all-new construction which will be built over eight 10 floors and will have 85 individually designed bedrooms and suites featuring floor-to-ceiling warehouse style windows.

The hotel's interior design will be done by Kit Kemp and the public spaces will include an outdoor garden, a guest drawing room, a gym and a 100-seat "state-of-the-art" screening theater, which is actually a Firmdale trademark feature.

There's not much to report on the individual guest rooms except that they will have flat-screen TVs, wireless internet, and CD/DVD players. Several one and two bedroom suites will be located on the top floors of the hotel.

The Crosby still plans on being green all over and is hoping to achieve the Gold LEED status with its construction. So now we just have to sit and wait.

The company behind London's new five-star Haymarket Hotel is coming to New York. The Crosby Street Hotel is set to open by the end of 2008 in SoHo on what is now a parking lot between Prince and Spring Streets. The hotel was predicted to open in '07 but not many hotels opened their doors this year. Next year, however, should be different.

Anyways, some good news for tree-hugging Anglophiles--the place is seeking a gold rating under LEED for new construction. The hotel will be eight stories with 75-rooms and will include such green features like:

efficient HVAC systems, locally-sourced building materials, wall-to-ceiling windows, and a roof garden.

Could this be an Orchard Garden Hotel of the East? We hope so but you know, much cooler.
