The view is the thing. Every person that I have introduced to Winnipeg has loved the view from the Inn at the Forks looking at the city.
The hotel pad in Winnipeg Square was built when the Forks/CMHR/etc. was a railyard. There is likely no view from there.
At the moment, earl's and the related parking lot appear to be staying one storey or thereabouts. Parcel 4 is in limbo. Railside will likely be not that tall. If someone were to plunk a semi-tall hotel where the Fortune Block is, one would have very sellable views of CMHR.
Best case - Historic buildings (at least Fortune and MacDonald) saved as is. Hotel moved to the earl's lot with earl's as the restaurant on the ground floor.
