lockmat Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Was that taken early in the morning? It seems this won't have much shade except at that time and also late afternoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the shadow of the overhang nearly directly below the overhang itself, the sun was close to directly overhead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avossos Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 For anyone interested. The San Jacinto side was lit up with LED lights across the turqoise. It made for an extremely modern and sleek look. I am not sure if they were just testing, but it looked AWESOME. For those of you who doubted this project, see it with the lighting. If you STILL don't like it, there is nothing else left to change your mind. I think alot of people will like it / appreciate it when they see it completed, and the lighting effect ON. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try. Looks like they are still doing a ton of work on the other side. Not sure if they were just testing... If anyone is around and does see the lights on. Snap a pic... preferably not when you're driving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoninATX Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Are they still on target to open on August 8th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking Reservations September 12. We open our doors on August 22, 2017 and are accepting reservations for stays on or after September 12, 2017." looks like rates start (rack rate) at $260 per night plus $42 in taxes, so, $304 and go up from there.

UtterlyUrban Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Those images really highlight the imperfections in the horizontal tile grout lines (dark line running horizontally in middle of several fields). Hopefully they will be fixing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 They worked fast. All the signage on the south side was up around 1:30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Whoa! The building looks amazing with that lighting. I presume they will do the same in the southern facing recesses? And yeah, hopefully black out curtains suffice/they don't get too many complaints from guests. The original renderings showed a vertical Le Meridien sign on the southeastern corner.. are there any signs of that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 No signs of the vertical sign yet. This photo is from last night around 7:30pm or so: 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
