Yeah, I saw that. But is there a market for a fully dedicated hotel of that magnitude right there, is probably what I am really asking.

I'm glad a hotel is being proposed here, especially considering several notable redevelopments are to move firward in the coming years that'd remove large components of hotel space from the city, not very far from here. (The Marriott at 475 Yonge, and the Chelsea Hotel off Gerrard).
I think by the time this would be completed, by say, 2029-30, the hotel market should be much busier and requiring more competition/hotel rooms.
That being said, a few more proposed hotels outside if the core would be nice too, especially in our busiest nodes.

Ah, well, nevertheless..

Why would TCHC want a micro-plate, difficult-to-construct, overpriced, hotel?

Agreed. I think it's too late.

It would have been much more interesting 5 years ago before TTC firmed up plans for their fan plant building at 830 Church.

Because no one else will want this and maybe they can get something akin to a deal?

They would still have to construct it though, and no one would give them a deal on that…

Blue zone hotel. One of the zaniest gimmicks I've read in a long time. It's also genius.

FYI, blue zone...

...this is less flattering if one considers this is where dinosaurs and living fossils come to live. >.<
