It will be blocks away from the sixth largest convention centre in the US, and it’s expected to honour both the Hard Rock brand and the local live music scene. There will be 350 rooms in the hotel and 62 units for sale, including canal-facing suites, plus two ballrooms with 12,000 ft² of event space.
