We continue to report on the UCLA hotel/conference center
project which the Regents found questionable in their March meeting and refused
to endorse. Earlier, we noted three
hotel projects being planned for Santa Monica.
It is useful to look at a rendering of one of them which has 138 rooms and would be at 5th Street and Colorado.
It’s pretty massive and useful to look at. Now consider that the 250-room proposed
UCLA hotel would have over 80% more rooms and you get a sense
of the scale of the UCLA project. The
Santa Monica project shown above is described as follows:
…The Hampton Inn and
Suites is a proposed 72-foot tall, six-story building with 138 guest rooms and,
just like the Courtyard, 78,750 square feet of floor area with 80 to 100
subterranean parking spaces…

No doubt about it. What UCLA has proposed is BIG:
Update: Here is a picture of the somewhat smaller 131-room hotel planned to be across the street from the one above:
