Guests who’ve stayed at 4th Avenue’s pricey Hotel Le Bleu during its first month of operation have started posting about their experiences on Trip Advisor, and their ratings, as Pardon Me For Asking notes, are all over the map. The three reviews on the travel site give the hotel a 3, 4 and 5 (with 5 being the highest possible rating). One guest was totally blown away. The hotel is 15 minutes by R train from Wall St., and the rooms were every bit as visually pleasing and clean as a W. Another, however, was a little less satisfied: I think it is trying to be super hip and urban chic, too much in my opinion…the staff at check-in was a disaster. They are very far from being as polished as the hotel would like to bill itself. Still, not a bad batch of reviews for a property that some have dubbed Hotel Le Doom. Le Bleu’s website currently shows rates starting at $270 a night.

I hope this place is a success. it will speed the transformation of the “wild wild west” avenue. Disregard the nay sayers, they are born losers who can not see the big picture.
Nipper, it’s not that we’re rooting for a new hotel to fail just because it’s sandwiched between a taxi depot and a dialysis center on a godforsaken hideous four-lane highway of hell. We’re snarking our brains out because it is EXPENSIVE and PHONY-FRENCHIFIED and PRETENTIOUSLY ‘ARCHITECTURAL’ while sandwiched between a…blah, blah, blah. Got it? The Le Bleugh is FUNNY, in a way that the poor Holiday Inn, squatting ingloriously opposite the dead-gangta-mural and flat-fix shop, can never be funny, because it is paradoxical. The fact (apparently it is a fact) that Eurotrash hipsters will simply love it is even funnier. We are Brooklynites, hon–can’t nip us in the bud once we get started, not on something this good.
i’m pretty psyched about the rooftop bar myself.
i think it’ll be pretty cool.
can i ask…it seems that most new yorkers constantly complain about the disney-fication of new york and hate that there is nothing rough or original about it anymore…so why is it when we have a rougher area, people trash it and wish it were lined with starbucks and duane reades???
The zoning is reason the design. Send a letter to your local city council member.
There is simply NO RATIONAL REASON why the west side of Fourth Avenue is still zoned M1-2. This is a relic from Brooklyn now gone for almost a half century.
Is it really opening up a rooftop bar? That sounds cool, I might even check it out.
God, and we were so hoping that this place would be a total failure!
Maybe if we write more tired, snarky stuff we can still make this thing tank.
And what’s with B’stoner/Gabby continually referring to the hotel as ‘pricey’ when in the next breath they are fawning about some $3.2 million bronestone that’s 2-3 blocks/5 minute walk away.
No, I’m not a developer, hotelier, broker, condo dweller, brownstone owner, and have no particular agenda.
10:20 poses the question that I am constantly asking myself. I can’t figure out why people want this hotel, and on a larger scale, Brooklyn itself, to fail. There’s a certain set of people who seem incredibly bitter about any new development.
It wouldn’t be my first choice as a vacation hot spot but considering the fact that there are virtually no hotels in an area that holds millions of people (Brooklyn) its nice that there is at least an alternative to the Marriott on Jay St.
I think it had to be recessed for zoning … no hotels allowed flush on an Avenue lot line. I agree it would have been better to have landscaping in front and parking underneath or in back though.
