With most slightly-controversial SRO conversion chatter centering lately around the new Ace Hotel lately, HotelChatter checks in with the snazzy Jane Hotel?formerly the Hotel Riverview. The old flophouse, with its cabin-sized rooms and colorful protests, just opened its "ballroom," a big bi-level lobby bar (there were reports neighbors had sabotaged the hotel's liquor license requests). The place is "stocked with antiques and art from across the world but most of the furniture is new," and reminds us of another waterside den, Truffles Tribeca's residents lounge. [HotelChatter]
