So you've got midtown access, you've got the tourist traps, nice views, and a convention center, and new zoning how is there not full-on support for atleast a handful of major hotel developments???
There are hotels planned for the area. The rezoning is fairly new and its going to take a little time before the convention expansion and hotel construction gets underway.

Not to get off topic, the the group Vision 42 has been advocating a modern trolley for 42nd...
