It would be nice if it wasn't hideous.
Taking off the spire would leave it looking much better, and I like the hotel part, but the overall thing is just so massive and bulky and sticks out like a sore thumb. It would be nice if it had setbacks and didn't go straight to the top (although I suppose the top of the hotel is a setback... although it isn't that visible). It's just so massive and dwarfs everything around it...
How is the main component of this building attractive at all, actually? It's just a block with an ugly stick on top.
I'd be all for a 1,500' building in Philly, but it would suck if the skyline was ruined by a monstrosity like this. I'm sure the design will be changed some from now until (hopeful) groundbreaking... but, IMO, it would take more than a few minor changes to make that thing visually appealing in any way.
