Some interesting details being added to the hotel component

Noticed the hotel a few weeks ago. Looks really good. Clean and modern, love the orange accents, which are darker than the rendering, but that almost look better.

I wasn't sure what was going on on the side, if the mix of orange panels and what looked like metal cladding was intentional, but looking at your closeup, seems they're just not done installing the orange panels. That feature isn't as nice as the renderings suggest, but we'll reserve final judgement for when it's complete.

Unfortunately, the tower portion is getting the dreaded Alibaba/Icon balcony glass.

Why would you have decent balcony railings for the hotel but cheap out on the tower?

In any case, it's not going to look as bad as Icon since this is a more basic, square design. Absolutely mind boggling why Claridge cheeped out on their curvy "Icon".

I've noticed the aluminum cladding is starting to get installed for the top portion of the tower, but it looks to be the same light-grey colour like the rest of the lower portion. I thought the top third section of the tower was supposed to be a darker colour, as per the renderings?

From rocketphish on SSP. Feature wall complete. Someone somewhere confirmed it is lit up at night.

Honestly, I'm happy with this one. More 35+ towers please.

Lights are on even during the day. I'd have to see it at night in person, but I'm not sure I'm a fan based on the pictures. A bit too bright. I would have preferred architectural lighting from above.

Wouldn't the other building next to it cover the lights? I don't see the point why they chose to do this.
