A new hotel designed by the notorious Peter Poon is, like so much development these days, coming to replace a just-demolished parking garage. Department of Buildings permits list the hotel, at 60 West 37th Street, at 195,360 square feet, 42 stories, and 313 rooms. The building will stretch through all the way to 36th Street, "giving Poon," as NY YIMBY puts it, "the perfect opportunity to wreck two street-walls instead of just one." Saying that he's going to "wreck" that section of 36th isn't completely fair, however, since he's already wrecking it with another hotel just across the street. Hey, what's one more?
The new hotel is being developed by Hidrock Realty and will be occupied by Embassy Suites.
