Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. has opened a location in Cancun, Mexico.
Aloft Cancun offers 177 loft-like rooms with nine-foot ceilings and oversized windows. Social spaces include the re:mix communal lobby area and the w xyz bar, as well as a rooftop pool and a re:fuel café. Approximately 6,500 square feet of banquet and meeting space is also available.
“We are thrilled to launch the Aloft brand in Cancun, a renowned tourist destination as well as a prime business travel destination that is seeing increased demand in the meetings and conventions segment,” says Osvaldo Librizzi, co-president, the Americas. “This opening is also an important step for Starwood as it marks our twenty-fifth hotel in Mexico and the entrance of our eighth brand in the country.”
Currently there are eight Aloft-branded hotels in operation or in development in the region, including the soon-to-open Aloft Panama. Aloft Merida and Aloft Guadalajara are slated to open in 2014, and Aloft Asuncion and Aloft Montevideo will welcome guests in 2015.
