Touring Sunset Park's Soon-to-Open DJ Hotel

[nggallery id=56605 template=galleryview]
This week we toured Hotel BPM (stands for “beats per minute”), the under-construction hotel opening in Sunset Park on May 14th. Music is the running theme here, with a built-in sound system in the hotel’s common areas and speakers in every guest room, including the bathrooms. Owner DJ Bijal designed Hotel BPM with the intent to open an upscale hotel in the neighborhood as an alternative to hotels in Downtown Brooklyn. The project has been in the making for about three years. There will be 76 guest rooms, most around the size of the room pictured. There’s a common bar area where breakfast will be served (eventually Bijal plans to apply for a liquor license and serve booze there), a conference room, and a nice-sized roof, which may someday become a rooftop lounge. Prices for rooms will roughly be $200/night, with a $139/night deal for the first few weeks after opening day.
