Funding for new hotels has remarkably NOT dried up -- at least up till this point -- and Hilton is as hungry as it ever was to get into this market (cf. Conrad, Embassy Suites/Motto, etc). So it has to be a hold up with the builder, but . . . man, who knows. So hard to say. Still a great spot for hotel, no matter what.

It's on the edge of entertainment districts, UT campus - medical school and stadiums, the capitol complex. It's really hard to imagine a really big hotel not working there.
