Okay folks, the opening of a new building can be difficult to predict and we just got news in our inbox that November 4th is the new date for the Aloft Harlem hotel to debut. If you have been following, there probably has been about a half dozen opening date announcements since spring on the W Hotel chain's more affordable spinoff. From the top photo, one can at least see some progress at the site just south of FDB/8th Avenue and 124th Street. The W XYZ Lounge sign is up and one can see the Aloft logo just peeking around the corner (click image to enlarge). Let's hope this is the last announcement! There isn't any updated info on the Aloft site but here it is anyways:

They probably should have just said "Fall 2010" and saved themselves the trouble. But it's good to see things moving along.

ReplyDeletethat sign looks like a sign for a radio station.
