Starwood Hotels & Resorts has launched its Aloft brand in Buffalo, New York. The opening of Aloft Buffalo Airport also marks Starwood’s debut in Buffalo and increases the company’s portfolio to six hotels in the greater Niagara region.
“Aloft Buffalo Airport is a terrific addition to Starwood’s growing portfolio and provides an exciting new destination for next generation travelers and area professionals with its distinctive design aesthetic and live music offerings,” says Brian McGuinness, senior vice president of specialty select brands for Starwood. “Aloft is enjoying tremendous success and is on track to open its 100th hotel next year, fueled by rising demand in markets worldwide.”
The bright and airy guestrooms at Aloft Buffalo Airport feature the signature Aloft bed, Bliss Bath amenities, a 42-inch LCD TV, and a plug and play station for electronics. In addition to the brand’s signature W XYZ bar, hotel amenities include Re:fuel by Aloft, an indoor Splash pool, 24-hour fitness center, and 600 square feet of flexible meeting space.
Aloft Hotels also recently announced the appointment of A.L.O. as the hotel brand’s first Botlr (robotic butler) at its Cupertino property. This innovation makes Aloft the first major hotel brand to utilize a robot for both front and back of house duties.
