I guess I'm looking at this a different way.
From an operations stand point, a small boutique hotel would want to be separate enough to seem unique but close enough to benefit from the other resorts.
IF it happens, and you are a hotel ops staff member, you are hoping it goes west of the bus drop off, with some sort of connection to the yacht club. It allows for shared facility maintenance staff, housekeeping as well as others. While each resort will have their identity, many services can be shared behind the scenes.
Being a small boutique hotel, I think the guests would find value in being able access the boardwalk directly. While they might have their own table service and quick service restaurant, having a little variety just a stroll a way has value to those guests.
Its not to say that someone that loves boardwalk can't stay elsewhere and get access. They can. It's a matter of helping open up the options for a small footprint hotel.
I think of it like how they are setting up the Riviera resort. It's has an identity separate than the CBR, but the guests undoubtedly benefit from being close to CBR, and the staff will definitely have some crossover.
The skyliner to the front conversation seems to gone on a tangent. My point has been lost.
My point was that if a hotel at the front of the park was truly planned, They likely would have tried to incorporate the skyliner into the project, either directly or indirectly. As the skyliner is the new hot thing. I'm not saying two stops at each epcot gate. I'm not suggesting either gate. Simply that the two projects would have to interact with each other somehow. As it stands now, there isn't anything in the skyliner project that looks like it would be affected by the mystery resort. So that leads me to believe the rumored resort is more blue sky dreaming than anything. There goal might be to be there, but nothing is really firmed up.
The talk of an attraction at England with little details adds to the mystery. I feel like that corner of the park(the spine-England to say "the Land") is having a little bit of higher level planning going on.
