The irregular shape of the site makes planning of the efficient hotel difficult under the strict zoning laws of the Greenwich Special District. The view of the financial district from New Jersey is one of the typical Manhattan skyline. The hotel is a part of this well recognized view and distinguishable because of the unique west elevation.
