Aimbridge Signs On to Manage Aloft Hotels

ROSEMONT, IL-Aimbridge Hospitality has signed on to manage the 251-room Aloft Hotel going up here, the first property in the Midwest in Starwood’s plan for 500 of the new properties worldwide. The Carrollton, TX-based Aimbridge is also going to open and manage three other Aloft hotels, all opening in Plano, Las Colinas and Frisco, TX later this year.

A partnership of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. and Milwaukee-based Continental Properties Co. Inc. is developing the $35 million Aloft Hotel in the Rosemont Walk district. The property, one of Starwood’s new boutique hotel concepts, is just minutes from O’Hare International Airport. The hotel will feature 9-foot-high ceilings in a loft-like ambiance, with high-tech connectivity in each room. A sky bridge is connecting the hotel with a parking garage.
