Can't say I care much for the design, the massing is all wrong. Sticks out in a bad way. Nothing classic about it, nothing elegant about it either.

I also personally don't see the appeal of putting a hotel on the pier. The pier is an attraction, one of the places one goes on their stay. Put the hotels inland, let the pier draw them out, but then they have the city around them to explore. Let them cloister on the pier, and will the tourists even venture out?
