I assume that the interior of this hotel has been refreshed, but some love should be given to the exterior. Seems like a lot of Philly's older buildings need to be on this regimen and also powerwashed in the near future.

I bet it will happen. Maybe a few years after W is up and running. Especially now that Arthaus is only condos, and there will be no SLS h=Hotel. And is the Hyde Hotel component of Dranoff's project at Pine and Broad also nixed and just going to be apartments? Arguably, we would have been at a saturation point for luxury hotels in that area for a bit if those two had launched. Without them, I think we're more likely to see an upgrade of the Doubletree. They just did this with the downtown Sheraton, upgrading it to a Marriott flagship.
