Kimpton's Vu Hotel is Almost Ready

Where: 653 11th Ave [map], New York, NY, United States, 10033

[UPDATE: The VU Hotel is probably not opening in a "few short weeks" but it is still on tap for a Fall 2008 opening.]

After pushing the opening date back a few times, Kimpton's Vu Hotel is expected to open on the mean streets of Manhattan in just a few short weeks.

Hot on the scene when boutiques blossomed, Kimpton will no doubt tell a different story at this 222-room pied-a-terre where "snow whites, ruby reds and chocolate browns" will rule.

As this is New York, style rules and Kimpton is promising beds dressed in Frette linens and Fuji soak tubs in select rooms as well as a penthouse suite with a rooftop deck and private Jacuzzi.
