The tight urban site accommodates all of the hotel’s spatial requirements in an urban core location, while providing ample vehicular access and spectacular visibility with 400 feet of river frontage. The hotel’s dining, meeting, ballroom, and exhibition facilities stand along four levels of galleries that extend along the full length of the riverfront. Two separate, generous porte cocheres meet the demands of simultaneous individual and convention/group arrivals during peak periods, while the building’s corners are articulated to add exterior visual interest, thoughtfully articulate mass, and provide a variety of interior guest room plans.
