I never quite understand the City West boosters who occasionally pop up on this forum. They've either never been there, don't understand that DTLA proper has a ton of work to do before anything BIG can happen in City West, or simply live in City West and can't wait for their neck of the woods to finally mature.
City West is going to remain condos/apts and maybe offices for the foreseable future barring something miraculous happening, like the 110 Cap Park. Without that, why would anyone build a 5-star hotel in City West over, gee I don't know, South Park, Financial District, Grand, Hollywood, WeHo, BH, SaMo, . . .
