I walked by today and saw the site. I can't see how there will be any views by hotel guests, but we'll see. Maybe a bit through the gap as mentioned above. As there was no work going on (it's Sunday, but I see other hotel construction sites working today) and it looked like they'd barely begun, I wondered how many years it will take to open. I now see on the website that they've set a January 1st, 2020 date.

It was a relatively short walk from this site to the Wan Chai ferry terminal. So future guests have that going for them. Which is nice.
