I completely agree. Besides, building a 10-story hotel "around" the
mansion is destroying it anyway, in my opinion.
Also, there has been some discussion about the type of hotel this is
supposed to be. I remember someone saying it would be good for long-
term guests because the hotel would have suites with kitchens. This
would make it attractive to visitors who are in town because a family
member is hospitalized, for instance. In my experience that's not a
boutique hotel. A boutique is more about luxury and personal services
like an Ian Schrager designer hotel. Exactly what kind of hotel is
this supposed to be?

So, Melani, I'll put the questions to you: would you want Penn
and Lussenhop building a 10 story hotel in the 1000 block of South
Farragut Street? How do you justify destroying the streetscape of
an entire area in order to "save" one property?
