The W Hoboken is rising pretty fast just three blocks from the Path station.
They are targeting a December 2008 for htoel opening and availability of residences/condos for occupany. We'll see.
I am guessing it will do good business... and the bar will join the list of "official Hoboken pub crawl" spots. ALthough the local crowd may have to spiff up the HOboken bar crawl image of jeans and shirts untucked.

More rumors of a W Hotel coming to Harlem, NY! Location would be at 124th Street and Frederick Douglas Blvd. on a site that used to house an Associated Supermarket.
http://www6.lexisnexis.com/publisher...7867&start=129
This date is currently listed on the Starwood website but based on past experiences with *W openings I would say it will be pushed back the closer we get to Jan. 2008. I personally would not book a trip based on the Jan. 2008 date.

Rumor: W Macao Studio City -- This seems to be at a location that is separate from the St Regis and Sheraton.
Edit: Confirmed! "W Macao Studio City will make its debut in 2009, offering 563 guest rooms..."

Rumor:
W Retreat & Spa, Bali -- With two Starwoods already in nearby Nusa Dua and a St Regis already under construction there, the rumor of a W Retreat should come as no surprise for another nearby beach on the island.

Sooooooo True!!!
Proposed aloft for Palm Springs, CA seems to be dead after all! I travel to PS regularly so I have been following this site near the PS convention center for a while now. If you look at the past couple of years they have proposed virtually every Starwood brand hotel for downtown Palm Springs:
First a Starwood Luxury Collection
then a Westin
then an aloft
then back to a Westin
but now will finally be a Mondrian!!
Here's a link if anyone is interested in the most recent article:

So PS is getting a Hard Rock Hotel and a Mondrian but still no aloft or other SW property!

I don't know if you have noticed but where Date Palm ends into East Palm Canyon in Cathedral City there is an enormous dusty mess of undeveloped land on the south side of Palm Canyon. Everyone and their mother has been trying to place an upscale hotel and resort there but keep hitting the same roadblocks. Let's face it, this is the desert and any development is a welcome improvement over the natural state of things which sometimes result in snow plows having to remove sand from the freeway.
It is with great relief that I hear the same complaint from a visitor regarding the state of the hotel industry here as we locals are all but ready to throw our hands in the air and give up.
Best of luck to anyone who attemps a development project in the Coachella Valley. A place in the desert where every construction site is required to post signs stating "if you see dust coming from this construction site, call this number!"
Thanks so much for lending credibilty to our continued frustration in the Greater Palm Springs area.

I saw this as well. I'm a bit suprised really. I wonder what occupancy rates are like at the existing properties?
In the local press hoteliers in Bali are always saying that business in pretty dreadful. Maybe the starwood properties are an exception.

ELEMENT Hotels to Wake Up Extended Stay Options for Travelers
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Waking up in the Village of Summerlin, Las Vegas, Nevada's premiere Master Planned Community, never felt so good thanks to a new outlook on extended stay travel. Today, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE:HOT - News), announced an agreement with LaPour Partners, Inc. to open an ELEMENT hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada in October 2008. Inspired by Westin Hotels & Resorts, ELEMENT Las Vegas Summerlin will mark the beginning of construction with a "Ground Awakening" event on September 24, 2007. Summerlin's newest hotel will offer a one of a kind extended stay experience that combines smart design, nature-inspired, eco-friendly touches, and modern amenities. After a perfect night's sleep on the Westin brand's renowned Heavenly BedŽ, guests can guarantee that they will leave ELEMENT Las Vegas Summerlin knowing what it truly means to wake up and thrive.
Awaken to Smart Design
The ELEMENT brand's unique smart design philosophy is evident from the moment guests arrive. After passing through a signature portal that provides a literal bridge to the ELEMENT interior haven, guests will be greeted with streams of natural light from a multi-storied window wall. The vitality of the lobby will be matched by the energy of the hotel's outdoor fire pit and barbecue, where a regular nightly gathering will give guests an opportunity to interact, while sipping a glass of wine or draft microbrew beer.
"Every aspect of ELEMENT Las Vegas Summerlin is designed to help guests thrive and be at their best while they are traveling," said Nicholas Lakas, Director, ELEMENT Hotels. "Our guests will be able to experience a new mode of extended stay travel while enjoying everything that Summerlin and Las Vegas have to offer."

ELEMENT Las Vegas Summerlin's open, modular flow will blend together each part of the guestroom to create a residential feel. Guests will be able to customize their rooms to match their habits through multi-purpose, modular furniture, swiveling flat-screen televisions, large desks with open shelving and custom-designed closets. In addition, each room offers a complete kitchen that features modern, energy-star rated appliances and all the tools and utensils to prepare a gourmet meal. Guests will also rest soundly in the Westin brand's renowned Heavenly BedŽ, and recharge each morning in a sleek, contemporary bathroom with an oversized spa shower.
