New on Hyatt.com: Hyatt Times Square New York

While making another booking this morning, I saw this:

"Opening Fall 2013"

I don't recall seeing this property--located on 45th--ever mentioned. Anyone familiar with this?

Well, there were a few mentions about two years ago:

But there's been quite a bit of commentary in recent months at BoardingArea. Here are two examples:

http://boardingarea.com/blogs/milesf...-a-park-hyatt/

And people say the bloggers add nothing to the conversation…

I believe thee is a new Hyatt Place on 36th Street. It is a class 4 hotel. All other NYC Hyatt's are class 5 or 6.

It is pretty amazing that in a few short years, Hyatt went from having one Hyatt in all of Manhattan (after losing the Park Hyatt Stanhope), to by early next year having 8! And in about 1 square mile in mid town, there will be 6: A Park Hyatt, an Andaz, a Grand Hyatt, a Hyatt Place, and two regular Hyatts. My head is spinning with the choices now!

Don't Think it's Hyatt Place

Since Hyatt Place (36th st) is slated to open March 14th -- of this year.... know 'cause we've got a ressie for first week and haven't heard otherwise.

It looks like the Hyatt Union Square got pushed back just a little. Opening date is now April 30, 2013.

Also, since the Hyatt 48 Lex is going up to a category 5 (from a category 4), both these Hyatts will be the best redemption value for full service Hyatts in NYC.

Shaping up for November soft open?

This article reveals that mgmt. is targeting a soft opening on November 10 and a formal opening in December.

No word on blackout curtains...

Looks like this hotel is opening Dec-3rd. I received a promo e-mail announcing the opening and 7500 GP points for a 2 night stay. Here's the launch page:

http://hyatthotels.hyatt.com/content...are-offer.html

BTW shows up as 22,000 points (cat 6)
