Tribeca Film Fest Lures Katie Holmes to The Cooper Square Hotel

With the Tribeca Film Festival in town through May 3, the hip hotels of New York City are absolutely gushing with celebs drinking in the lounges, dining in the on-site restaurants, or simply partying it up on the rooftop. One such property reaping the love of thirsty starlets and film fans is surprisingly our new old friend, the Cooper Square Hotel. After hosting party after party on the penthouse veranda, including last night's Independent Filmmaker Project's 30-year Celebration, the Coop' can count Katie Holmes as a fan.

Although she arrived without hubby Tom and daughter Suri, Katie climbed to the top of the big white behemoth hotel, which is totally not in Tribeca, and lent her support to the organization which produces programs to connect the independent filmmakers with people already in the biz. Now that the Cooper Square can claim some paparazzi pictures of Katie with their property, will it become a hotspot for next year's Tribeca Film Fest events? There's only so many parties that the Soho House can host, after all.

The Greenwich Hotel Not Super Expensive for Tribeca Film Festival

Considering that Greenwich Hotel owner Bobby DeNiro is also the man behind the Tribeca Film Festival, we expected his hotel to be either sold-out or ridonkulously expensive, like the Kentucky Derby hotels.

To our genuine surprise, we found rooms on April 22nd, the start of the film festival for a mere $475 a night via the hotel's website. That was for a 325-sq.ft. courtyard room, one of the starting room categories. The Greenwich Room (395-sq.ft.) was going for $525. Sure, these aren't recession-friendly prices but they aren't as jacked up as they could be.

Looking for an even cheaper stay at the start of the festival? Over on Quikbook.com, Smyth was just a mere $177 a night from April 22-25. The festival runs through May 3 so you have plenty of dates to consider. Of course, that all depends on which film you want to see.
