Family Court Building to Become Luxury Hotel

The Inquirer reports: “In another major project for the Logan Square neighborhood, Mayor Nutter is expected to announce Tuesday that Kimpton Hotels will open a luxury hotel in the Family Court building at 1801 Vine St., according to people familiar with the project. … The Kimpton group was one of three that submitted proposals for converting the 73-year-old building into a hotel.” The project is estimated to cost $85 million. It would include 199 rooms, a ballroom, “meeting and board rooms, a spa and fitness center, and a restaurant and bar.”
