Hurrah! The NYLO Warwick is Reopening on Monday

Where: 400 Knight Street [map], Warwick, RI, United States, 02886

It took more than a year after much of the hotel was damaged during massive floods but finally, after extensive renovations, the NYLO Hotel in Warwick, Rhode Island will be open once again this Monday. Business Week reports:

Susan Shaw, the new general manager, said the 163-room hotel will open with between 35 and 40 employees, down from 60 at the time of the flood. It will add employees and should reach full capacity by early next year, she said. It will look much like it did before it closed. The restaurant will offer a new menu and have what Shaw described as a more "mellow" feel.

Heading to Warwick and want to give the NYLO some much-needed love? Glass king loft rooms start at $149 a night on Monday and yes, that includes free WiFi. Oh and a cute little toy!

NYLO Warwick Still Closed After Rhode Island Flooding

Where: 400 Knight Street [map], Warwick, RI, United States, 02886

Even in a year of earthquakes and snowicanes, the recent flooding in Rhode Island and other parts of the Northeast was some of the worst weather the region has seen. And for the still-new NYLO Warick the results were very bad indeed.

Two weeks after the storm, the hotel is still closed and may stay that way for up to four months, according to Hotels magazine. Local news channels in Warwick reported that two feet of water flooded the first floor of the hotel, which was being ripped out and replaced by clean-up crews repairing the damage.

NYLO Warwick Opens to Rave Reviews

Where: 400 Knight Street [map], Warwick, RI, United States, 02886

NYLO Warwick -- the second property in the new NYLO chain, whose first-born is in Plano, Texas -- opened up September 2nd with a look that was bluer and more "Rhode Island" than its Texas counterpart.

And after just under two weeks of being open, the property already has a dozen reviews on TripAdvisor -- and they're all absolutely glowing. No joke.

ICOH describes it best:

The new NYLO in Warwick, RI is like finding a really good book. The "cover" catches your eye on the shelf, so to speak -- meaning that the exterior of the hotel is a wonderfully restored new england mill (part of the Pontiac Mill complex) that you just have to admire and want to dive into - and then the "story" (your stay) immerses you in a fun and refreshing experience!

NYLO Warwick Opens Today

Where: 400 Knight Street [map], Warwick, RI, United States, 02886

NYLO Warwick, the long-awaited younger Northern brother of NYLO Plano, is now open in Warwick, Rhode Island.

It's new! It's blue! It's NYLO!

We just got off the phone with the hotel, whose grand opening extravaganza is going on -- and from what we could hear in the background, the lobby sounds hip and happening today. And there actually may still be space for the hotel's very first official evening open: according to the staffer we talked to, there is still a bit of availability for tonight, with rates starting around $119. Give them a call and check it out -- or just stop by for a drink if you're in the area.

In the meantime, Flickr user Square the A posted a set of pics that gave us a sneak pic of NYLO Warwick, which looks a bit like Alice in Wonderland meets Willy Wonka's Violet (meets NYLO, of course). One more after the jump!
