"Jay Marsella, director of sales and marketing, said that the hotel will have a soft opening on Dec. 26 with about 100 rooms already booked, but the place will really get hopping in early January when the Super Bowl staff arrives to prepare for the Feb. 4, game.

During past years, host hotels often were on full or partial lockdown so the public couldn't get into the hotel hosting the event's biggest VIPs. For this Super Bowl, the hotel will be completely open so anyone can walk right into the spot for what will likely be some of the city's best people-watching. The hotel will be booked with NFL and Super Bowl staff, top media personalities and a number of football players in town for the big game. "This will be Ground Zero for everything," Marsella said.

The hotel will have some of the city's most highly-anticipated new restaurants, including the Biggio's sports bar and Hugo Ortega's newest concept, Xochi, which focuses on the food and drink of Oaxaca, Mexico. While Xochi won't open until January, Biggio's and other hotel restaurants - the coastal casual Walker Street Kitchen, Cueva bar and Texas T cafe -will open with the hotel on Dec. 26."
