Is Nicky Hilton Still Planning To Open A Hotel?

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Celebrity Shopping

The site of what was planned to be Nicky Hilton's hotel debut is ready to hit the auction block. Paris Hilton's sister and sometimes fashion designer Nicky announced her plans for the Nicky O hotels last year to great fanfare. TMZ reports that after a failed conversion to condos, a federal judge has ordered the oceanfront Breakwater and Edison properties in South Beach, Florida to be sold to the highest bidder. There is an outstanding mortgage and penalty debt of $60 million. Hotel Chatter covered the bankruptcy of Nicky's developer earlier this year and one of their commenters pointed out an interesting fact, when you type www.nickyosouthbeach.com into a browser you are redirected to the Royal Palm Resort in South Beach. Does Nicky's dream of hotel domination live on?

Nicky O Hotels

We already knew that Nicky Hilton was planning to launch her own hotel chain, but now the hotel heiress officially has an opening scheduled for the first in a chain of boutique hotels. Nicky O (her middle name is Olivia) will open its doors this November in South Beach, Florida. Hilton is a self-described fashionista and her intent is to have her hotels focus on design and designers. In keeping with this, she has had several famous designers decorate the suites. Roberto Cavalli will be doing the 5,000-sq. foot penthouse in the SoBe hotel in a gold theme that mimics his retail stores.

A second location is tentatively scheduled to open in Chicago in December, with 3 or 4 more locations to follow.
