The goal was to incorporate a full service hotel with a conference and exhibit hall and parking garage on a tight site within the constraints of a new urbanist development.  The hotel was constructed with structural concrete and features exterior finishes consisting of EIFS, curtain wall and natural stone. Additionally, the hotel was built to LEED specifications (pending certification).
