No, I think the 2-story, rather minimalist structure that's there now WILL be largely deconstructed ("demolished" if you prefer) for construction of the hotel. It's really not much of a structure. Not sure if the foundation will remain the same or have to be modified.
I mean look at what's there--it's not much of a building (mostly glass and, in fact, it looks like it was designed as a "place holder"):
