The question is whether it's 8x0.5, which would barely put you over the minimum required water intake as recommended by the American Assoiciation of Waterologists, or 0.375, which would severely dehydrate you, in which case subsequent guests should consider bringing powdered water as a backup.

Looks like I'm the FT guinea pig...

Oh, and the breakfast buffet for us mere mortals (non-platinum) is $55 ++
So is the breakfast menu we've seen a list of the choices at the Buffet?

While expensive, if the 'Luxury' breakfast options are included on the Buffet, it's not unreasonable.

Should i let them know that you're coming and your powders are just powdered water?! I'd be happy to give them a heads up!

Looks like Today is the first day of the hotel having availability -- so the "soft open" period is over, and hopefully someone might actually check in soon and give a real review.

Also interestingly, it looks like the Two Bedroom Beach Suites won't be available until December 1, and the Caroline Astor and John Jacob Astor suites won't be available until Jan 4 -- I suspect that these are not completed yet (or some VVIP's have all the high end suites for two months solid)

I'll see if I can score a look at some of them and get some real pictures to share.
