It's actually very nice on the inside. Neo-Classical domes are always nice, and imagine it was much more formal in its past as a bank than now. I like how the W is wall to wall with the Ritz. Not only are two upscale hotels right next to each other, but they look good together, even if one of them is barely even started.

I just now noticed that tiny little plaza (sort of) at the back of the Residences at Ritz Carlton. That must be unpleasant to sit at with the construction.

Well, us construction nerds would like it! I would. For others, probably. But in all the times I've walked by, I've never once seen any residents using it anyway.

I honestly think that this building looks like it was designed whilst the architect was high
And that's not necessarily bad. In fact, it's really good-looking.
