The black trim really pulled it all together vs the black brick part looking tacked on.
The architects must have been watching "The Big Lebowski" and suddenly a 1000-watt lightbulb turned on over their heads.

Looks like fire damage.the black brick is killing me
On that Twitter thread: "I think we’re morally obligated to make all new construction in that area at least 30 stories to block surrounding views of city hall."
The brick blends in nicely from this angle
According to this article, there will be two restaurants. The one that will open first is on the second floor.The visibility of the ground floor piece at the intersection of Blackstone and Hanover is nice. It's very open and glassy. Can't recall if the restaurant is going there or just upstairs.
Rose Town Kitchen & Bar, a casual brasserie-style café, is located on the second floor of the hotel. It will serve New England classics for breakfast and dinner, and eventually lunch and brunch, Rosenblatt said.
Rosenblatt called the shareable plates “high-quality snacking” and said guests can choose from pizzas (called pies), as well as seafood, beef, chicken, and vegetarian options. The bar will serve classic cocktails with local craft beers on draft and international wines.
“It has a horseshoe-shaped bar, which is another nod to the neighborhood — to the original Union Oyster House first-floor bar that has so much history,” Rosenblatt said.
When the restaurant’s windows slide open during warm-weather months, guests will enjoy an open-air experience over the Greenway, Rosenblatt said. He predicted the bar stools along the window wall will be “highly coveted.”
“This is going to be a unique and vibrant restaurant that’s going to be exciting for people to come explore,” he said.
A second restaurant with a rooftop terrace will open in the fall, Rosenblatt said.
