Prior to that, my wife and I stayed at the Candlewood Suites on W. 39th Street, which was part of that 38-story hotel trio tower that also housed a Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn. I guess this seems to be the latest trend in hotel or any type of construction, given the zoning laws...
I do like the idea of a canyon wall, but I do like this zoning restriction allowing for some "open space" at the front stoop. I guess that's the idea behind the restriction. In my opinion, it essentially provides for a "grander" entrance to any new hotel or residential building.
