Would be nice, but there are so many other hotel chains that I would rather see. There is not one reason we need to be like every other city in Canada lol. Plus I am not sure we want to saturate the downtown with Hotels, Hotels do not bring people downtown, all they do is come to the hotel, go to their convention, and back on a plane to where ever.
Having the Hotels at the Airport is just as good.
Plus I am pretty sure with the ones on the books and on the rise we will most likely be saturated. Look how the Humphry went from a name brand hotel to whatever it is now. I doubt they even filled half that thing on the best of nights.
I like the Office / Hotel / Condo idea use of buildings. Makes more sense in my eyes.
One thing I am not a fan of, is that we may not be getting the tower on top of the convention center, when you look at the aerial of it as it sits, and then imagine the other lot covered also, that is basically going to look like one huge parking lot 3-4 stories up and nothing breaking it up.
