I thought the museum was going to be December now? Oh well, hopefully it will be soon.

Yet not up to the standard. Their “clean room” stage was below expectation. It's the first W hotel in the region. They want everything to look perfect

That's crazy! I remember the full page advert saying MARCH 2008, in either Marhaba or QH. And they've had lots in the paper about it too. Why advertise stuff as opening if it clearly isn't going to?! It creates a bad impression before customers have even had a chance to go there.

Similar thing happened with Museum of Islamic Art.

They were supposed to open later this month. No idea what's taking them so long, but you still have to wear a hard hat when you go to the site, so they are NO WHERE near completion.

How did W get so far behind? They were advertising March 2008 at one point, and I've seen staff here as well. Something must have gone seriously wrong!

Hyatt is on ACTUALLY on schedule to open in Feb 2009. W has been pushed back again until May or June 2009. Hilton is a good year away from completion but the Marriott Renissance and Rotana should be opening early to mid-2009.

See if you can find an announcement about the opening date from the hotel chain themselves, and then add approximately a year to 18 months to it.
