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.

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 guarantee you one thing. all this attention on here, curbed, slew of other blogs, etc. ain’t gonna hurt business at hotel le bleu one bit…
It’s okay, 2:26.
They may start out all nasty and petty, but they do make up in the end:

And I dare say that this behavior is hardly just a NY thing.
See political blogs and talk radio, populated by folks dialing in from the sticks.
Happy Tuesday
I guess not being trendy is trendy these days as there isn’t one thread that started after this one that has more than 5 comments associated with it.
truly “trendy” to me means something off the beaten path. something new and different.
the lower east side is not off the beaten path.
some people who actually know what the word “trendy” means, like to try DIFFERENT things.
those are the people that i hope this hotel attracts.
those that conform to thinking that everything in manhattan is better are the opposite of trendy in my book.
Hey 2:26, I’m the one being abusive to typos, PS moms, stoned Prospect Parkers, etc. I don’t take pleasure in other people’s misfortunes; I just enjoy engaging in New York-style banter. I dare say, if it wasn’t for me (and a few others) injecting some spice into this thread, you would be stuck reading posts by people delusional enough to actually believe a sane person would prefer spending $400 a night to stay at this overpriced Best Western versus a truly trendy place in Manhattan.
i think these comments are too often coming from people who want other people to be unhappy.
it’s a sick ny thing where you take pleasure in other people’s misfortunes.
i think it needs to stop.
1:56, I would love some. Just give me the directions to the rock you’re living under.
As a none Brooklyn resident and European. I would love to weight in on this, since apparently Europeans will be the target group of the hotel.
I have visited Brooklyn a few times and love it but I’m not sure I would spend that much for a hotel there. There are some cool design hotels in the LES that are very hip and attractable (Hotel Rivington for instance).
It may just end up being a resident hang out for single Park Slopers?
As for Prospect Park it’s absolutely no comparing it Central Park. It’s all about energy, Prospect has a somewhat suburban feel to it, whereas Central Park is a destination-which changes the vibe and that vibe is a good thing.
Sorry for any grammar mistakes in advance 🙂
Oooh, toepicks occur on ice. That’s actually quite appropriate to the conversation after all, since they’re building that new ice rink in Prospect Park.
