The recently released renderings of the Omni hotel give me modest reason for optimism. I do like, however, the Fifth Avenue face of the building, including the expansion piece for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. That side offers an interesting variety of shapes, colors and materials.
As to the tower, it looks to be very horizontal (in part, due to its L-shape). I don't foresee the building providing a sense of verticality, but it's massing could be impressive. I'm still not sure about the KVB face, but it's likely to deliver a certain unwanted level of vehicular intensity.
It's a piece of sh!t. A low-rise slab of the same old garbage we see in all the buildings downtown. This hotel will appear as nothing on the skyline. What is Omni doing with all the rest of the money they're taking from MDHA? They sure as heck aren't putting it into this building!
