The JW barely meets that criteria due to the fact that it is a few blocks away, but obviously it was built with the convention center hotel concept uppermost in mind. Just read that Ritz Carlton is looking to expand product line in different ways, so a convention center property might be just the ticket for them.
I meant the Hilton, don't know why I said Marriott. I suppose you're right about Seasons as well, but the general point I made still stands.
