The stories behind the delay are quite byzantine. However, the good news is that work on the complex roof structure has resumed:

Bad news is that the concert hall won't be completed until 2015 (opening concert under the new GMD, Kent Nagano, might not be until 2016). I assume the hotel will be able to open before the concert hall, but that's strictly a guess.

I'll send a notification to mods to consider yet another update to the thread title.
