      One of Vancouver's better known hotels could soon be history.

      CBC News has reported that the 357-room Empire Landmark hotel at 1400 Robson Street is slated for redevelopment.

      The 410,000-square-foot, 42-storey tower is owned by Asia Pacific Development Group.

      It's most famous for its top-floor dining establishment,Cloud 9 Revolving Restaurant, that overlooks the West End.

      According to the CBC News report, the hotel will be replaced by two mixed-use towers.

      Before that can happen, however, the proposal would have to be approved by Vancouver's development permit board.
