Love that copper/wood looking facade even from the little I can see. I am usually not excited about hotel developments, but this building is turning out fantastic so far. Even better when you consider what the early renderings looked like. Original design was horrid then the updated design (thread pic) was better, but used cheap materials. This project went from one of worry with it being so prevalent on Congress to something worth being excited.
