Hotel Le Bushwick On Tap
Despite its drab appearances, Williamsburg’s Hotel Le Jolie must be doing well. Or, well enough, at least, to give its developers the confidence to proceed with another similar project in nearby Bushwick. According to a tipster, and confirmed by Department of Buildings filings, the 21,000-square-foot lot at 22 Sumner Avenue is slated to a seven…

According to a tipster, and confirmed by Department of Buildings filings, the 21,000-square-foot lot at 22 Sumner Avenue is slated to a seven story, 69-room hotel. According to one of the contractors involved, ground should be broken within the next week or two. Good place for a hotel? GMAP P*Shark DOB

James, maybe you could create a tour for the hotel guests?
It’ll be very convienient for the tourists – get shot, walk across the street to the hospital. Or maybe even better hand out with the loonies at the abondoned building next door (or the loonie bin, also across the street). Welcome to NY!
sounds like a joke but its not. mr.b linked to the actual filings with the DoB.
Oh, April Fool! Ha ha very funny.
April Fool?
Oh! And believe it or not there’s a hostel in Bushwick near the lofts that is apparently *very* popular with Europeans.
No no no, this is not a hotel in “Bushwick” even if technically this is Bushwick. Is it? This is the area between Williamsburg and Bed Stuy that has a ton of projects, the hospital, and some Hasadim. So yes I would have to agree, it would be suitable for the hospital, as an hourly spot, or for visiting Hasids.
Anyone wanting to open a hotel in “Bushwick” would have to locate it closer to the lofts.
Although there is a lovely Motel 6-type deal on Wyckoff down by the cemeteries that looks great for truck drivers, crack addicts, and hourly customers. (No offense to truck drivers.) Maybe Ian Schrager better look into that.
A lot depends of what brand of hotel we’re talking about. The right kind of place can succeed here.
it’s directly next to an abandoned building and down the block from Bushwick PJs (I think). Plus it’s a heavily populated area (VERY crowded)…I can’t see it as a spot for a hotel…unless it’s one of those hourly joints.
