Looks like the website has been updated to include contact info and a bit more detail about the restaurants etc. Wonder if that means the July opening will actually happen.

Just spoke with someone at the hotel. She said it would open in July but wouldn't take reservations until September (not really sure what that means but her English was pretty good so I don't think it was a mistake).

I think it is a nice way of saying that they are pushing back to September.

Probably. Emailing with reservations to confirm. Looks like it's going to be a pretty nice hotel, hope it opens soon so I can visit next year and they've already worked out the kinks.

Too bad it's not opening in July. Would have liked to visit this and the Waldorf.

For anyone who knows the area well, how does this location compare to the location of the St. Regis? In terms of precipitation, marine life, or anything you can share.

Always wondered what a soft opening actually means. I assume staff are there but what do they actually do, are there any guests?
