Hotel Le Bleu: Will the High Prices Fly?

With the Hotel Le Bleu’s grand opening just around the corner, someone from the Brooklyn Eagle was able to duck inside the 4th Avenue boutique hotel for a peek. The verdict? “A finished room was on par with some of the boutique hotels in Manhattan–thinking Hudson and Gansevoort, and the Blue went one better: big views looking west to the harbor and north to Manhattan.” So what price luxury hipness? According to the hotel website (screen shot on the jump), rooms run from $349 to $399 a night. It’ll be interesting to see whether folks are willing to drop that kinda coin for a stay on the decidely un-upscale 4th Avenue. What do you think?

I just don’t see how these prices will fly. Europeans (or any other tourist with bucks) can spend that much and be right in Manhattan. The Holiday Inn Express on Union seems to be doing relatively well but they aren’t charging nearly that much per night. I do wish them well and hope they find their niche, but it’s pretty nervy to charge that much for that location.

1:19, how about park visitors who have a clue? Last summer I asked approximately 25 individuals in Prospect Park (who looked like they had a clue but obviously didn’t) where the zoo was and none were able to tell me. I would have had better luck in Central Park asking Japanese tourists where the Obelisk is. Then again, who needs a zoo when it’s far more entertaining to watch the lemmings (aka Park Slope parents) interact with their young?
toepick.
Who in their right mind would rather visit Prospect Park??
people who enjoy a more natural greenspace more than they do planned out trails and walking paths that look more like busch gardens.
1:07, there was nothing else to respond to in your post. I actually agree with you that comparing Prospect Park to Central Park is like comparing the Brooklyn Cyclones to the Yankees. Let’s get real. Who in their right mind would rather visit Prospect Park??
uhhh. that wasn’t me pointing out the typo, 1:07.
i realize it’s difficult to tell with all of us anons, but i wouldn’t waste my breath pointing out a simple typo.
and i still think you’re judgemental.
😉
Oh sorry, that wasn’t me at 12:40. See, even I’m confusing my posts with someone else. Alrighty, leaving this thread that’s focused on a topic I hardly care about anyway. Sorry to stir things up too much needlessly.
so by your conclusion 12:54, since this hotel has taken too long for your liking even though you apparently have no intention of staying there or recommending it to anyone you know that you deem it logical to state that the hoteliers must be amateurs?
how logical of you. and non-judemental.
since you claim to know so much about hotel construction, perhaps you can enlighten me as to how long exactly this should have taken and what price the hotel should charge. you know…since i’m sure you’ve toured the rooms and all.
