The $110 million, luxury boutique hotel initially expected to open in mid-April, but the spread of the novel coronavirus forced it to push back those plans.

“Obviously, we’re watching the trends and everything that’s happening. A lot can transpire over the next six weeks,” says Mark Kessler, president and chief operating officer of Kessler Collection Design & Development.

The Kessler Collection is developing that 254-room hotel, which will feature 16,000-plus square feet of indoor and outdoor event space. It sits on a 0.6-acre site next to the Carillon Tower at Trade and Church streets.

Kessler talked with CBJ about what he expects as the debut nears.
