Why not demolotion the Metropolitan and build something identical but 
new in its likeness.  A Metropolitan style hotel with up to date 
ammenities might do very well.  My guess is the Charms is more worth 
saving structurally.

I know that isn't ideal to the preservationists but it is a happy 
medium.  It also takes into account that this stuff doesn't take place 
in a vacuum, it requires money.  

NOticeably absent from any of these discussions on saving buildings is 
an accurate assessment of the cost to restore and what the payback 
would be.  I know payback isn't important for some but it matters for 
anyone who is going to put one nickel into a project.
