The OCD part of me much prefers a nice, clean, finished look on all sides of the building.

I don't understand the thinking of the hotel here. I haven't been in a hotel before where I could look into my neighbour's room? Also what is the intention here? So when the adjacent properties are built up those v-shape returns will allow sunlight to penetrate the 20 stories to the rooms below? Or will you just rely on the neighbour to turn on their light in the morning and cast a warm glow through your window?
Once again, the old insurance building, derided for its brutalism, is way more interesting, clean, elegant, and well-designed than this ridiculous addition to the market. Is this what architecture schools are churning out these days?
