Well it will be.
The Fairmont will be 595 feet to the spire and 456 feet to the roof with 36 floors.
The JW Marriott is 408 feet to the roof and has 34 floors.
The Hilton is 377 feet with 31 floors, but the highest hotel floor is the 26th floor. The top 5 floors are condos. All of the Fairmont Hotel's 36 floors are hotel use.
While the W Hotel & Residences is taller to the roof than the Fairmont will be and has one floor more, the hotel portion of the W stops at the 18th floor. The rest are residential.
And that's it. We don't have another hotel above 300 feet at the moment.
In fact, this will still be the tallest hotel in Texas outside of Dallas when you
don't count the spire.
So even without the spire it's still our biggest and tallest hotel with the most number of hotel floors. I agree I would rather have the old design, but we're still getting a new largest and tallest hotel that will help spark more development along Waller Creek.
