Politics aside...what of, what looks to me, a  sleeping elf in the non matching night stand ?

I will request a high level room with my discount and one without a nightstand just a floor lamp. Where shall I pay my $79 plus tax?

first time I have seen in person the new awnings and they look awesome.  Hotel opening April 23 according to the Biz Journal.

The Roman columns look great too.

Those are some unflattering and unconvincing out of scale doric capitals.

I still think it looks pretty nice.   

Robert A.M. Stern's new buildings have authentic details, but these condos cost $6,000-$10,000 per square foot.   Therefore, those intricate, authentic details are cost prohibitive.  With cost limitations in mind, I think that the Grand Bohemian turned out great.

Proportions don't cost extra

Also, if you live in NYC you get to enjoy the splendor of the beautiful buildings (new and old, pinnacles of the craft) for free, even as a mere pleb.

Or here, you get to eyeball the GB and see it for what it is. It's nice from afar, but poke it with a stick - yep styrofoam cup with a thin coat of spackle. It's actually a pretty great mascot for Charlotte. Emblematic if you will.

I like the contrast between the Renaissance-style campanille and Carillion's Gothic-style crown.

I feel like there was a missed opportunity not having one of the restaurants open to the park with outdoor/patio seating

It does. All of this is seating area, fed by the door on the left, with an outdoor bar on the right.

This is the outdoor.

Ok that’s awesome. It was hard to tell. I still wish it were more like a street cafe with indoor/outdoor seating. But the bar will be great.

Yea I was a little surprised to see all those steel service doors in the middle, but that is how the kitchen to the restaurant is oriented. There should be cafe chairs right on Trade.
