I have to be honest, this building looks much uglier in person than it does in the renderings. The final product is not that good.

I used to wonder about that but never saw anything written about it so I assumed it would be a self-contained hotel operation. Wow, so room service was going to travel a couple hundred yards before reaching someone in Aqua? That is very interesting. Magellan really seems to have limited itself with this. But maybe at least a kitchen can be retrofitted into Aqua, with laundry handled via pedway (maybe a diagonal pedway from Aqua to Hyatt Regency...?).
