Yesterday we learned that a Williamsburg/Greenpoint-area called Hotel Le Jolie is set to open within the next few weeks, so we decided to check it out in the flesh. The hotel comes c/o the same team behind Gowanus’s Hotel Le Bleu, hence the French name. Anyway, we think the photo above is worth a thousand words, n’est-ce pas? What’s not really visible in the pic is the fact that the back of the property is a few feet away from the BQE, so presumably Jolie’s owners invested in some excellent soundproofing materials. Rooms are expected to run between $200 and $350, according to general manager Robert Gaeta, which is quite a bit cheaper than Le Bleu. Think those rates will fly?
