Book a Room at the W Boston, Get a Limited Edition Cynthia Rowley Scarf

We told you yesterday how the W Boston would be opening tomorrow but that rooms were unavailable for this upcoming weekend. Bummer (Are they not quite finished or sold-out? That is still the question.) However, rooms were open for next weekend at $260 a night for a Wonderful room.
But now it looks like the hotel has an opening "offer" that gives you some perks beyond just a room for the night. The W Boston Opening Experience includes in-room welcome cocktails; a chef-selected dessert at Market by Jean-Georges, a limited edition Cynthia Rowley scarf (exclusive to the W Boston) and a VIP Insider discount card to Cynthia Rowley that gives you 20 percent off all purchases at all Cynthia Rowley stores, even the ones in your hometown.
It's a great opening offer, if you happen to be Blair Waldorf from "Gossip Girl." So maybe it's a better Girls Weekend hotel than a Boys Weekend one. Rates start at $259 a night. The special offers link on the hotel's website is down right now but you can call the hotel directly to book. (617) 261-8700. Ask for the Opening Experience.

W Boston and Its 'Cosmopolitan Cool' Will Open on Thursday

The last time we checked on the W Boston, the hotel was set to open October 22nd except the opening has now been delayed until October 29th. But if you're looking to spend Halloween weekend here, the hotel is not showing any availability.
Could they be sold-out or just not quite open to guests? We're not sure. However, next weekend, Nov. 6-8, is open for your "Sensory Pilgrimage" at $260 a night for a Wonderful non-smoking room. A studio suite is also available for $350.
The rooms are predictable W style, they didn't re-invent the wheel here or anything as the rooms promise high-design, high-technology and cleverly nicknamed amenities. (Munchie Box anyone?) Interestingly, we see that this W is actively advertising "Free Wireless High Speed Internet Access" in public areas like the hotel's Living Room. We can't wait to test out that connection.

Book The Strand Hotel For $249 on Quikbook For Stays After November 16th

Last week when we checked in on The Strand Hotel we learned the place was opening either "any day now" or on November 16. But having just received our latest Quikbook.com newsletter advertising rates of $249 for the new hotel, we assumed it was open now. But we must have pulled out our "Jump to Conclusions" mat by accident.
Rooms were not available for tomorrow night on Quikbook.com. However, November 16th was open for $249 a night for a standard king with complimentary breakfast. The hotel's website is also not showing rooms open until November 16th. So we think you can guess what we recommend for booking this hotel--wait until November 16th. But book through Quikbook.com. Their rates are $40 cheaper per night than the hotel's website.

Break Out Your Dolla' Bills: Hotel Indigo Opens in Chelsea for $349 a Night

Update: The $249 promo rate is now working on the Hotel Indigo's website.
Wow, what a dark horse hotel we have here. The Hotel Indigo Chelsea has officially soft-opened today on West 28th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, making it the first Hotel Indigo in New York. And it even opened ahead of schedule by a few months.
The rooms at the hotel (aside from being brand-spanking new) have 32-inch flat screen TVs, hardwood floors, Aveda toiletries, custom-designed furniture and best of all, free WiFi. Onsite there is also Blu, the hotel's restaurant which serves American-bistro fare and the Glass Bar, a rooftop lounge with views of the city.
Rates are going for $349 a night tonight for a nonsmoking room with a king bed but the hotel's website promises special opening rates of $249 a night. We couldn't find that rate when we punched in few dates so you may want to call in person to see what dates you can actually get them. The hotel's Twitter feed also says IHG Priority Club members can earn 5,000 points.
Since we really liked what Hotel Indigo was doing in San Diego, we can't wait to see what their New York hotel is like, provided we can get the $249 rate.

The Soon-To-Open Crescent San Fran Now Has Rooms Starting at $105

The countdown to the opening of San Francisco's Crescent Hotel is on, with its official unveiling set for October 21st. Hotelier Gregory Peck staked a claim on prime Union Square real estate (the former Allison hotel), gutting the property and giving it a 'classic San Francisco with a modern twist' look.
If you left your heart in San Francisco, then you'll be happy to hear about site-specific touches that we previously reported on, including iPod playlists crafted by local DJs, a locally-focused wine program to enjoy in room, and library with "West Coast-centric" reading material.

The Viceroy Snowmass Will Open in November at $150 a Night (With 50% Off Additional Nights)

While the spoiled ski bunnies will have to wait another year for the Montage Deer Valley to open, in the meantime, they can have their personal assistants switch their itineraries to The Viceroy Snowmass in Colorado which still expects to open on November 25.
Also still in effect through December 23rd, is a special deal that gets guests who book one night there, any additional nights at 50 percent off. But wait, it gets even better still.
The opening rate on November 25 is only $150 a night for a studio residence with mountain views which includes a king-size bed, fireplace, a small kitchen, 42-inch flat screens and WiFi. The room sizes start at 375-square-feet which is a little on the small side for a "studio" room category but hey, the price is right. Just don't expect any fresh powder at your feet.

Welcome to the Aspria Hotel: A Spa And Gym With Rooms On Top

The W Barcelona may be stealing all the headlines but it’s not the only new kid on the European hotel block this autumn. The Aspria Hotel in Berlin looks pretty nice – and it’s rather more affordable, too.
Opening next month on 6 November in the posh Charlottenburg district (west of the Tiergarten), it doesn’t have the most auspicious of pedigrees – Aspria is a chain of health clubs in Europe - but they’re now offering accommodation at their digs in Hannover and Berlin. Original, but interesting – it means that the spa and fitness area are going to be souped up no end. In fact, the Berlin spa is going to be 14,000 m sq – to be shared by just 42 rooms. Look at that pool. We're doing lengths in our heads right now.

The W Barcelona is Open Tonight But The Weekend is Booked

Temperature: 77 degrees. Weather: partly cloudy. Time: to check in to the W Barcelona.
Western Europe’s first W, and the snazzily-numbered 33rd in the world, has opened its doors today. The Bliss therapists are unwinding tense muscles right now, the Eclipse staff are girding cocktail glasses with sugar, and the head honchos must be breathing a big sigh of relief that its third predicted opening date has finally come through. And right now, that pool must be looking a little less peaceful.

Green Gets Sexy at Cornwall's Scarlet Hotel

Green Hotels don’t usually equal sexy hotels – and if they do, you can generally assume that the eco side is more for effect than hardcore environmental causes. But a big exception to the rule has just opened up in Britain: The Scarlet hotel in boho Cornwall.
It may look like just another chic clifftop Cornish hotel with its slinky furnishings (it’s even a member of Design Hotels), Michelin-starred chef, Atlantic views and “private outdoor space” for each of its 37 rooms, but under all the glitz is lurking a seriously green hotel.

Up top is the the sundeck at the Altitude Terrace. Then there’s the WET Deck (loving the water all over the place)

The Crescent Hotel San Francisco Will Open October 21

Here at HotelChatter, we're so jaded about new hotel projects and predicted opening dates which never come to fruition, that we actually forgot about the plans for a Crescent Hotel San Francisco from hotelier Gregory Peck, the man behind Crescent Beverly Hills and the infamous Cooper Square Hotel. But we're very happy to report that the hotel will be opening on October 21 and rooms for that night are open for a very affordable rate of $105 a night.
Located a block north of Union Square, on Stockton and Stutter, this used to be the Allison Hotel, a long-term, SRO hotel that Peck and his partner, Mark Henderson, completely gutted and renovated from top to bottom. But he says that they "consciously maintained" the original architecture of the building which is 100-years-old.
It's a typical look for San Francisco but we've given it a modern twist.

The Avatar Hotel: A New Geek Hotel in Silicon Valley for $99 a Night
![]()
You don’t have to be a “Second Life” fanboy to take advantage of the Avatar Hotel’s $99 opening rate. Joie De Vivre’s sixth Silicon Valley property is opening in a former Holiday Inn this month with 168 rooms, and claims to be the only boutique hotel in Santa Clara. For you non-geeks, Santa Clara is home to Yahoo!, Cisco, Intel, Sun Microsystems, and McAfee.
The hotel is targeted toward “tech road warriors,” with a network of techie amenities “designed to appeal to start-up entrepreneurs as well as established technology gurus.” Rooms come with complimentary wired and wireless internet access, laptop tables for working in bed, iPod docking stations and 37-inch flat screens.
There’s also a new fitness center, a heated outdoor pool and Jacuzzi (only open April-October), and what just might be the most awesome free hotel food event we’ve come across lately: Wednesday night “Beer & Brats” barbecues with free microbrews and hot dogs for guests from 7:00-9:00pm.
