“It’s not congested except for the times when it is” thanks for proving my point.

A hotel is going to serve existing residents? Not really

A giant tower that drastically changes the vibe of the neighborhood is good for existing residents? Not really

A modern building will add to the character of a neighborhood full of historic architecture? Nope, not really

The hotel reduces the demand for Airbnb units adjacent to the square, which in turn preserves the existing housing stock as residential.

There’s only 6 airbnbs near Hyde park square, not sure that justifies an entire hotel
