To bring this back to the Mayfair Hotel...here is an alternate timeline that I would have loved to see: what if the Mayfair Hotel had been salvageable and had ended up like one of these 'reclaimed' hotels:
- The Heuther Hotel - eg predominantly a restaurant with some short-term apartments (not to mention the Original Princess)
- The Waterloo Hotel - eg a boutique hotel with restaurant space
- The Drake Hotel - every hipster's fantasy.
Could it have redefined the Downtown? Would we imagine downtown Waterloo without the Heuther or a similar establishment?
