NYC’s Hotel Gansevoort Gears Up For New Club ‘Provocateur’

Remember the heyday of the Hotel Gansevoort in New York’s Meatpacking District, before The Standard came and when the Gansevoort still had bedspreads without cigarette burns in them? It was the place to go on a Friday or Saturday night in summer, for a drink at their rooftop “Plunge” pool bar or down at their garden restaurant/club, Stereo.

Now that Stereo has closed, leaving the corner of the Meatpacking eerily quieter at night, what will move into the prime space? Another club of course, but this time not of your typical $19 cocktails and black minidresses sort, or so it seems. The new venture will be called “Provocateur” and is billing itself as “The [heart] of Progressing, Vocal & Indie Music.”

We never thought we’d see those genres associate with The Gansevoort, but know they are just trying to stay hip byt knocking out the lounge and techno beats in favor of something more buffalo plaid-friendly.

The Club is due to open this fall, and you know since we spend the better part of our days spying on The Standard, that we should be in the perfect spot to see what blossoms at “Provocateur.” by JetSetCD – HotelChatter
