^Perhaps you are right Sam. I will say, however, that, from the only rendering I have seen, I do prefer the Hoepf tower to the Foster tower. Of course, I realize that I have not seen enough of the Foster tower and that I have a bias toward the Hoepf tower. Also, it sounds like Foster was commissioned for the NY Shangri-La, whereas Waterview Tower was already designed by the time Shangri-La signed the contract to operate a hotel there. And having a Foster-designed Shangri-La in NY is obviously great for the brand (which is new to the US) and this is good for the Chicago Shangri-La.
