Our memory was clouded a few weeks ago by the excitement surrounding the opening of Gowanus’s fourth hotel, the Super 8 on 3rd Avenue and President, and we wrote at the time that there were only two other hotels going up in the neighborhood. Not so: In addition to the builds on 13th Street and Butler Street, there’s also a small hotel under construction on Degraw between 3rd and 4th avenues. The project, rendered above on the right, is in the early stages of construction but, unlike a few other planned hotels in the neighborhood, it’s clearly not stalled.

  1. 11217, I assume you’ve heard of the “Hour Boys” and “Hour Hotels” in BA? Thought it was really funny when I was there that there are maps of them (the hotels, not the boys, that is).

  2. This one is nice looking.

    But to those who rail against these hotels, I called the Holiday Inn Express recently to inquire about a room for my sister and they were sold out for the weekend I was asking about.

    Just fyi. These places do get used. Whenever I walk by the Holiday Inn, I see a gaggle of European tourists out front. Mostly German, it seems.
