263 Broome Street has been born again hard as a trendy boutique hotel. Over the weekend, workers finally removed the mess of nets and ironwork from the seven-story superstructure. It’s gone commando, and further pimped by a tacky yellow spotlight scheme for nighttime hours.

The as-yet-unnamed lodge occupies seven floors and boast 45 keys across 13,155 square-feet. Signs also point to a rooftop bar (naturally). Indeed, an “accessory roof bar” is mentioned in the permits on file with the Department of Buildings.
