Shaken, but things are stirring. Sure, the city’s hotel biz took a gut punch this year — we lost icons like the Gramercy Park hotel and the ultra-trendy NoMad Hotel — but according to Joel Rosen, president of New York-based GFI Hospitality, a real estate development and investment company, it was no knockout blow.
