This was totally unexpected and nice. The Orb was created as part of a major expansion of The Betsy Hotel in 2016. The hotel owners purchased the neighboring (and equally historic) Carlton Hotel and needed a way to connect the two properties. While it looks like a sculpture from the outside, it is a fully functional, climate-controlled pedestrian bridge. Guests at The Betsy can walk through the inside of the Orb to get from one wing of the hotel to the other. Really cool!
