[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The hotel might close, but where is there any news about it being demolished?

I'm struggling to figure out why they'd keep the existing building and what use it could be.

Its only a hill and prime real estate. I think that whole corridor in Woodley Park needs revitalization and leveling that hill to put something amazing in like the Wharf could do that.[/quote]

I cannot follow what you're suggesting here.  They should level the actual hill under the existing hotel to ... flood it?  Surely not.  Level the hill (again - ???) in order to put in a bunch of restaurants and venue spaces to compete with the Wharf?  That's not particularly feasible either.[b]  Prime real estate it may be but Woodley Park does not have a track record of keeping decent restaurants open, and residents do not want concert venues or busy bars nearby.[/b]  It will either be reconfigured into condos or torn down and replaced with different condos.[/quote]

That is my point. Its a dead zone for no reason. Georgetown is trending that way as well. Soon enough there won't be anything WOTP but if you don't have any issue with it -- nothing will change.[/quote]

I'm not a commercial landlord.  As long as the rents are too high for a business to stay open and NIMBYism keeps loud businesses out, the issue will repeat.

I still don't understand what you have against hill.[/quote]
