Dove abita questa Gianni? Forse lo conosco. Io trascorro' due anni nella Sicilia come missionario. E' una isla bella e storica. Purtroppo, non parlo la lingua spesso ahora. Ciao, Paesano.

Regarding the La Quinta property: I seriously doubt we'll see a La Quinta there. I'm hoping for something much nicer and taller.

I honestly do not know anything about this property guys. I just found this ad for the property while searching through the NAI site. Also the county recorders site still has

909 HIDDEN RIDGE #600 IRVING TX

as the mailing address for the property owner... which is la quinta.

As a realtor myself. I researched this property quickly. La Quinta has posted the property for Sale. To me this means that they are working with other hotel groups hopefully Starwood to purchase the land. Frankly i don't care what goes in as long as the land sales and the building in replacement is much much better then a parking lot!

Utaaah, Ma, che piacere di sentire che sei stato in Italia! E anche come un missionario in Sicilia. Capisco bene come no ce l'opportunita di parlare molto la lingua. Per me, sono veramente Parigino, ma anche ho fato io un missione in Italia a Roma,et anche in Padova per un anno quando hanno fato un altro missione. Ad un volta abitavo in Italia. Questi sono tanti anni fa. Anyway, I do have extended Italian family from Rome, so that keeps me throughly Italianized even though I'm French. Every once in a while we'll have to throw each other Italianism's.

Guarda, che bella luna!! Remember that in Moonstruck? They nailed the Italianism's in that movie!! Do you find yourself always missing Italy? Nothing gets under your skin more than La Bella Italia.

Non ho visto Moonstruck -- forse la dovrei mirare. Mi manca l'Italia, ma mi manca la Germania di piu'. Abitavo in Germania per sette anni ante de la missione (a Catania). Abitavo nella Ingleterra per due anni anche. Ho visitato la Francia alcune volte. Mi piace tutta l'Europa.

Sorry about the Italian, folks -- I don't mean to alienate you, but it's a beautiful langauge and a pleasure to speak (and write). Moving on, I'd like to see a hotel like New York's Millenium Hilton (see below) built near the Salt Palace, either on the La Quinta site, the Greyhound site, or in Arrow Press Square. I've stayed there a couple times and think it's the perfect layout for a small floorplate. No need for in-house conference facilities with the large, versitile convention center across the street. The Millenium Hilton rises 58 floors and houses 569 guest rooms. Because the old AT&T building blocks views to the east, most guest rooms, including all those on the lower floors, face west (overlooking Ground Zero). Without such constraints in Salt Lake, the number of units could easily be increased by mirroring the floorplan on the east side of the elevator lobby -- essentially placing two of these hotels back-to-back. So there you have it: my vision of a convention headquarters hotel in DTSLC. Of course, the architects could dress it up a bit, instead of parking a big black box in the middle of the city.

That looks like the monolith in "2001." I like it. It'd be a cool design for SLC.

Yes, a building of the size and color of the Summit on that property south of the Delta Center would be awesome. I'll be rooting for SLC to get a W. There definitely needs to be some additional hotel space downtown, and with the way the demographics in SLC are changing, I think a hotel of the W's caliber would be a homerun.

I opened the first page of this thread and started reading without realizing the dates were from 2007. I was super confused for a minute.

Wow - this is an old thread. I forgot that I even started it and had to think of where I heard the rumor of a W hotel. It was a pretty credible source, but the deal just didn't work out.

I read about the rumor of a W hotel in the SL Trib around that time.

Close, but not quite. The Marriott Courtyard is going to be 10 stories tall, not 5.

10? I thought it was going to be 5-6 stories. Did I miss something?
