Well this is a very bit of surprising news--The Cassa Hotel on West 45th Street in Manhattan now belongs to the Viceroy Hotel Group. Looks like the Year of the Dragon is getting off on a good foot for the hotel!

Management of the Cassa (whose owners filed for bankruptcy last April) was officially transferred to the Viceroy Hotel Group on January 20th and the hotel now belongs to Viceroy's Urban Retreat Collection. This also marks the first NYC hotel for the Viceroy group (finally!)

It doesn't appear as if much will change throughout the hotels 165 rooms and suites but the hotel is getting a new restaurant from Chef Laurent Tourondel--BLT American Brasserie which will serve classic American fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We reported on that opening back in Aprilbut it looks like it's really happening this time, and soon.

Interested in staying at the new, improved and Viceroy-ized Cassa Hotel? Rates for next weekend were going for just $279 a night for a deluxe room with a queen bed. Suites were starting at only $479 a night.

Tides Riviera Maya, now the Viceroy Riviera Maya

Now that the Tides South Beach is no longer a Viceroy Hotel (it belongs to cool kid hotel brand, King & Grove), we've been wondering what would be happening to the Tides Hotel brand that Viceroy had spun-out from this iconic South Beach property. Well, today we have our answer. Sort of.

Just after the Tides Riviera Maya in Mexico finished up their sexy renovations, it was announced that the hotel is now going by the name Viceroy Riviera Maya.

We don't call it Miami Hotel Mambo for nothing.

There's been yet another boutique hotel shake-up on South Beach. Just a month after Thompson Hotels took over the Hotel Victor from Hyatt, we've got word that King & Grove Hotels, known for their intimate Hamptons properties, The Surf Lodge and Ruschmeyer's, will manage the The Tides Hotel on Ocean Drive starting in December. (Just in time for Art Basel!)

For those not already in the know, King & Grove is an indie boutique brand founded by former Morgans Hotel Group CEO Ed Scheetz along with Ben Pundole who was previously the Director of Entertainment at Morgans. Earlier this year K&G received funding from the Chetrit Group to help expand their brand and not-so-coincidentally, the new owner of the Tides Hotel is a company called CG Tides overseen by Joseph Chetrit. Chetrit said in a statement:

We are ecstatic that the Tides will become the newest King & Grove branded and managed property. By partnering with King & Grove, we are confident that our plans to rejuvenate the Tides and establish it as the preeminent luxury resort on Ocean Drive will be realized.

Now that L'Ermitage Beverly Hills has become a Viceroy spot sans the actual Viceroy name, the hotel is revamping its food offerings and just named Joseph Elevado as its new executive chef.

Elevado, a Staten Island native who cooks up Asian-inspired eats, will add new flavor to the hotel's eating options, including the historic lounge to in-room dining and poolside fare. But the big change will be the a new signature restaurant that's set to debut in the fall.

Maison 140 Finally Completes Its Sexy New Look

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 140 S Lasky Drive [map], Beverly Hills, CA, United States, 90212

It took a while but The Maison 140 Hotel in Beverly Hills has finally finished up the room renovations that it began back in 2009.

The facelift was overseen by Viceroy Hotels in-house designer, Kelly Wearstler who redesigned all 44 rooms in a Parisian style. Gone is the old yellow and grey decor and now in its place is a vibrant orange and red color scheme, er as Wearstler describes it "persimmon" palette with new beds, headboards, curtains, chairs and desks.

To celebrate the hotel rooms' new look, the hotel is offering a Renew Package which gives guests welcome champagne, a continental breakfast, complimentary parking and internet for just $185 a night. (The deal is good through June 30th.)

This is a great deal if you want an affordable boutique hotel close to the center of Beverly Hills but just keep in mind, the hotel doesn't have much of a lobby or any other public spaces for that matter. However, you can pop over to the hotel's sister properties--the Avalon and the L'Ermitage to use the pool or have dinner.

No Viceroy Beverly Hills This Year but Free Nights At L'Ermitage Soften The Blow

The Viceroy Beverly Hills, a property currently operating as L'Ermitage Beverly Hills, has pushed back its planned 2011 opening to next year. The new date, "debuting in 2012," puts it behind the Viceroy Maldives in the development pipeline, with the island resort still slated for this year.

There's little more in the way of details on the new design and how the Viceroy takeover will materially effect the 119 guest rooms. So we're wondering what the hold-up could be—after all the hotel is already built, staffed and operating.

The Raffles L'Ermitage in Beverly Hills is gaining quite the rep, first as Angelina Jolie's kinky sex den, then as a Tiger Woods mistress pad. It could use a makeover to wipe the slate clean, so we checked up on its impending changeover to the Viceroy Beverly Hills.

The change was supposed to take place in early 2011, but the hotel is still operating as the L'Ermitage and it's business as usual.

It may not be Kelly Wearstler's favorite hotel, but the Viceroy Anguilla can hold its own in the high roller department, thanks very much.

A new program at the resort is covering guests flights--to the tune of $6,000. Of course, that doesn't mean you and 10 friends can fly coach and stay in the cheapest room category. This insane hotel package is reserved for guests who book one of Viceroy Anguilla's four-bedroom villas.
