I was going to mention the exact same thing. That, and the barren plaza at the corner could easily be repurposed as a porte cochere for the hotel. I'm not necessarily a fan of adding automobile amenities downtown, but in this case, on those two particular streets, it makes sense. Also, softening up the brutalist ground floor of this existing podium is going to be a huge improvement to the streetscape there.
