I wouldn't mind this style of Hampton Inn, which blends well in the SoBro neighborhood in Nashville. They also have one in a converted historic building in Downtown Atlanta, and a modern high-rise in Austin.

I would have initially assumed something like Aloft or Hotel Indigo, however, the article indicates that this would be a "prototype".

Well, sure I don't think anyone wants to see the typical Interstate exit hotel, but hotels go next to office buildings all of the time in urban settings, right?

I was thinking Aloft as well, but if it is a prototype, then we're left to guess further now.

The original plan for comparison's sake:

Isn't the larger tower the former condominium development? I see a smaller, shorter redish building that looks like a hotel.

[blizz01]

Yes - looks like the new plan is only inclusive of the two buildings on the right.

I like the metalic curve.  I am not sure about the EIFS/Stucco materials behind it though.  It needs more glass and steel!
