I think we're well into that shift. It's an undeniable hotel submarket -- the ATT Center functions as the "convention center" (it has lots of meeting space, so can bring in large groups); and within a couple of blocks you have the Hampton Inn, the Doubletree Suites; soon you'll have the Autograph/AC (which represents higher-end rooms), and in the not too distant future, the Hilton Garden Inn new-build.
As the new north Capitol buildings get built, and as the Red River sports complex starts to firm up, I think you'll see even more demand for guestrooms in that area.
