Nothing like coming 5 years late to the conversation, but just found this thread... I worked at the Tides II in the 80s. The Best Western that is standing at 6700 S. Main now is the only part of the hotel left. It was the highrise with the club, restaurant and banquet rooms on the ground floor. The pool area of the hotel was *beautiful* and hosted many weddings and/or receptions. It was owned by the Scott family and **** Maegle. The Scotts owned the original Tidelands at 6500 S. Main as well as a resort in Hot Springs, Ark.
We used to go drink in the pub at the Shamrock before it was torn down, and there was a wonderful piano bar and pub in a hotel on Montrose (I think it was at Bartlett), but I can't remember what the name of the hotel is...
