Here is a recent rendering of the planned Westin Hotel in downtown Greensboro. It may not be the final design though. The rendering shows an 8 story hotel on top of a 6 story parking deck with ground level retail. The hotel will be built on the back side of The Elm Street Center which is currently a conference center and will be incorporated with the hotel.
The latest plans call for an 11 story hotel on top of a 6 story deck. The deck will be built by the city and will cross over the road to the right in the rendering and extend an entire block with ground level shops and restaurants. The city council just voted to enter an agreement with the hotel developer and voted to purchase property for the deck. Construction will begin early next year with an opening date in 2019. Based on the latest news, the hotel should be 3 stories taller than what you see in the rendering.
