There seems very little about this new property when I do a Google search. And the Hilton web site says the property will be open in time for the Olympics--but is not taking any reservations. Not even for November or beyond.
I guess it will be like most Hilton openings--many months or years delayed....

The Hilton home page for the hotel has it as a Cat 2. Could this possably be correct?
Also, has anyone had any success through the Diamond Desk finding any rewards avail at all during Olympics at any HH property? I know, crazy, right? I'm sure the answer is probably no, but some are saying there might be a glut of rooms last minute. I am going to be there for 30 days for work. The work accommodations might be pedestrian and I'd like to escape to a real hotel for a couple of days.
Thanks.

Does anybody have more information whether the hotel is already open ? I can make bookings on the Hilton Web Site and found also information that it was opening for the Olympics but I can't find any reviews yet.

Cannot book non-smoking room
Haven't stayed at the hotel myself. Did hear from some relatives that the hotel is very impressive looking and I am planning on staying there in October. Tried to book a reward stay for non-smoking room but it seems like non-smoking rooms are not available for redemption even when standard non-smoking rooms are available for purchase. No one at Hilton knows why...

I've booked an award stay in May, 2009, and put a note in my booking about requiring a nonsmoking room as well as late arrival. It's documented, I've got a copy, we'll see how it goes. (Hopefully this issue may be resolved by then, but I have noticed some European hotels, like Hilton Heathrow, where nonsmoking tends to get replaced with smoking in bookings.)
I'll be staying several days and relocating to the Crowne Plaza to connect with my National Geographic Expedition group, so it'll be interesting to make the comparison.
