We hear that a 225-room, Waldorf=Astoria is the key component of The Proscenium, a mixed-use project that’s being built in downtown Sarasota, FL, which should begin construction later this year. Watch for the property to open by the end of 2010.

And that… Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts has joined with Silverstein Properties to develop and run a hotel and private residences in a new development at 99 Church Street in downtown Manhattan, one block from the World Trade Center redevelopment site. A 175-room Four Seasons Hotel will occupy the first 22 floors of the eight-story tower. The remainder will have 143 private residences managed by Four Seasons Foundation work for the new tower begins in June, with completion in early 2011.

We also hear that Raffles Hotels & Resorts will manage the historic Le Royal Monceau hotel in Paris, which closes in June for a major refurbishment. When it re-opens in June, 2009, the hotel will have 152 of what management is calling “the most spacious and luxurious rooms and suites in Paris.”
