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.”

  1. Can’t wait to stay at this hotel and try out their safes that are large enough to fit a laptop!

    Great point dixiecup. Folks probably haven’t even realized, but the recent Crain’s business report cited that bowling tourism is up over 65% vs. Q1 of last year! I don’t know if Brooklyn Bowl will be able to survive after Melody Lanes’ uptick in Glow Night bowling after this super trendy hotel packs the house!

  2. With its proximity to the D/N/R express stop at 36, this is a great spot for people visiting New York who don’t want to pay a fortune for a hotel.

    Before we moved here, we stayed at the Days Inn on 39th between 4th and 5th several times.

  3. open this summer? if that picture is from like now, NFW

    hotels work everywhere in Bk, there is one by the East New York # 3 stop/Atlantic Avenue flyover

    33rd will serve visitors to Sunset Park, Greenwood Heights and others
