Not here... not yet anyway.
The local radio stations started airing commericals saying that guests are coming to see "old Friends" at the Millenium.. Friends = workers.
It also mentioned the special cancellable weekend rate of $149 which is mentioned in a another thread:

That's a great rate for NYC IMHO>
This hotel was one of the best I've ever said in. Guessing it should be the same great hotel again.

How far is this new hotel from this Embassy Suites that is at: 102 North End Avenue. I stayed here and didn't know there was another Hilton in the area.
Plus, shouldn't there be another 'n' in Millennium?

I've found a $149 rate (1st night non-refundable) with full american breakfast for beginning of August - is this reasonable for the standard of the hotel. Is it located near to the "touristy things"?

yashan, They've always spelled it "wrong." Maybe they're trying to compete with the Waldorf's bizarre "=" in the middle.
grantb, It's across the street from the World Trade Center site. It's close to Wall Street, which I wouldn't classify as the prime touristy stuff, but the subway connections are very good and you can't beat the price. It'll be much more expensive once it's up to speed (if it's as good as it was).
I'm booked for the end of May. I'll report back.

During the weeek-day, you can pay a visit to wall-street and NY stock exchange. During the weekends, there are not much going on in downtown. However, you can walk to Battery Park and then take the ferry to the statue of Liberty. It's also walking distance from SoHo and Chinatown.
Perhaps other New Yorker can give you a better idea of lower manhanttan.
Have fun.

I've not stayed, but since I live here I walked in last week to look at the lobby and took a small tour. I saw one of the rooms and they are impressive with the plasma screens and all.

I stayed there last wednesday and thursday night @ the rate of $179. Since i am diamond they upgraded me to a junior suite.
VERY VERY nice !!
the bedroom had a big screen plasma tv, and the entire hotel had a new fresh feeling and smell to it
the comp buffet breakfast was excellent
the view into the pit was very erie/emotional. I am a native ny, 9/11 hit very near to my heart.
the business center is not up and running yet and neither are the inroom coffee makers
OVERALL - GREAT HOTEL/GREAT STAFF/GREAT EXPERIENCE
