What was once known, in 2007, as the Stewart and Minor condo project, is now Daola Seattle. Current plans dictate that it will be a 42 story hotel and condominium tower with the hotel on the lower floors, the condos above and a restaurant, bar and spa in the building. Early reports are saying there will be 78 hotel rooms on floors 3 through 7 and then 95 condos above.

Daola, which means “you have arrived”, will be an independent hotel and will be the first in the US though they have several locations in China, where the owner, RBF Property Group, is headquartered.

The plan is to begin construction sometime in the 1st or 2nd quarter of 2015.
