Nearly three years ago a hotel developer bought a warehouse on 33rd Street between the expressway and 4th Avenue; since then, the old building’s been demolished, and what’s gone up in its stead is shown above. A few weeks ago Curbed had some info about plans for the new build: It’s been dubbed Hotel BPM, and the 75-room property is the brainchild of a person named DJ Bijal. According to its official website, the hotel “drops” sometime this summer. A travel blog called Gadling linked to from BPM’s Twitter account had this to say about the plans, in part: “‘As a deejay, I’ve had the opportunity to travel often,’ says DJ Bijal, Visionary and Founder of Hotel BPM, in a statement. ‘This hotel is the culmination of the best hotels I visited when I was on the road: BPM will offer great value, great comfort, and great style.’…Each room has 40-inch HDTVs; laptop-size safes; personal Keurig coffeemakers and free Wi-Fi. A lounge off the lobby area will serve lite-bites and cocktails, and there is also guest parking and a fitness center for use. The price for a room at Hotel BPM start at $160 per night for a King room and $180 per night for Doubles.”
