Marriott would have had to have been dimmy-dunce-dork to have not signed a lock-out agreement with ICE vis-a-vis hotel possibilities; I don't know this for certain, but if there is to be a new hotel being announced it would almost certainly have to be a Marriott property (no Alt, no Westin)... I am all in on a Marriott property mixed with Residential (most likely) or Office (if there is another goody who wants to be downtown... and there are a few). Anyway, I maintain that downtown Edmonton has a bright future and some of the projects yet to be announced over the upcoming years will surely astound!
