Pretty cool actually

one of my coworkers takes on the story

Quote :

"That is big news and the even BIGGER news is that Hatem / Empire have aligned with Kimpton Hotels vs. running the Lafayette as an independent. Kimpton has rolled out some really cool projects in a variety of tier-one cities around the US including NYC and DC. Charlotte can have a Ritz Carlton, we'll take a Kimpton! I'll see if I can find out any more info through the City channels."
