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?

5:10, do you always have conversations with yourself?
it’s called sarcasm, biff.
sugarpie? sure sounds like 1950 to me!
believe it or not an entire relatively large neighborhood is not made up of a handful of chain stores. park slope has more mom and pop stores and restaurants than most gentrified neighborhoods in new york. i believe it won a nationwide award a few years ago for being a cutting edge neighborhood of sorts. and it just recently this past year was named one of the most eco friendly hoods in the country.
oh and guess which neighborhood recycles most in all of the 5 boroughs. yup. park slope.
why didn’t you mention moim biff? or al di la, or commonwealth, or diane kane or zuzu’s petals, or the knitting factory?
maybe cause you don’t know one damn thing about park slope?
yeah, thought so.
I hope there are some sweet hookers hangin at the bar so my grandpa can get him some.
and the last comments is what is so depressing about the “old” brooklyn.
this ain’t 1950 anymore, sugarpie.
Barnes and Noble, Starbucks, Whole Foods, Blue Ribbon Sushi…now THAT’S what I call trendy and cutting edge. How about a Disney store to top it off?
The last comment really captures what is so depressing about the “new” Brooklyn. “Kaching kaching”. Charming.
this hotel is going to be right around the corner from the new whole foods, come next year.
and it’s also currently around the corner from blue ribbon sushi.
slummy enough for all you haters??
