A 147-room music-lifestyle hotel rises at Maritime Park by the Blue Wahoos stadium, with a rooftop restaurant, Akira Back, from Michelin-starred chef Akira Back (AB Tuna Pizza, 48-hour short ribs). It is part of a $310M privately funded Dawson Company and CCI development, and the team includes Emmitt Smith. It is not a casino; the Hard Rock Casino is a separate property in Biloxi, MS, about 2 hours west, gambling and 21 and up.
