spending 6 nights in P.S. in Feb and will not stay in the Hyatt, will miss out on 6000 bonus points, would have loved it to be already open.

Website and app listing (as a Thompson) is live, will be category 5 upon opening (same as the previous listing as Andaz). It’s classified as a resort property (the plain Hyatt next door isn’t)

Wow. Hope springs eternal. The sign maker must get a chuckle every time they ask him to print a new date on one of those.
We're now more than six years behind schedule with no end in sight.
[MENTION=187466]cbrown5294[/MENTION], have you shipped the tiles yet?

It doesn't look like any interior work has been done on the ground floor; can't tell about the second and third floors. Regardless, that looks like at least six months of work, and potentially much longer given this property's history.

I agree, it will be earliest late Q3 if not Q4/2023. unless they do a soft opening during Summer with just 1 floor or so open. But it also does not look like they have done anything to the pool level as far as I can tell from street level. And a pool is required for a Summer in PSP
Also, has been unclear how much of what was built up to 2019 had to be reinspected, either signed off or redone.

Reporting from Scottsdale, I can tell you that a properly funded and managed project can be completed very quickly in the desert. California is typically more challenging from a governmental approvals perspective, but the physical environment is not the problem here.

Do want to point out that there are two sections to the hotel and the other section was arguably further along even 10 months ago compared to the section just photographed.
I wonder if their plan is to open half the property first while continuing construction on the other half… though that could be very disruptive for guests.
