TULSA, OK-The first Aloft hotel in Oklahoma has opened here, and another one is planned for Oklahoma City. Aloft is a Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc.’s brand, along with Westin and W hotels.
The newly-opened Aloft features 136 rooms, more than 1,000 square feet of meeting space, a communal lobby area called re:mix and the wxyz bar.
It is owned by Anish Hotels Group, a hotel management and development company based in northeastern Oklahoma that owns a number of hotels in Tulsa and the surrounding area. Anish has tapped LodgeWorks LP to manage the hotel
Located in south Tulsa, the new hotel is just a few blocks from the 71st Street shopping and dining district, Woodland Hills Mall, historic downtown Tulsa, Oral Roberts University and the concerts and sporting events at BOK Center. Also nearby are Hard Rock Casino, River Spirit Casino and Tulsa’s scenic RiverWalk.
The Tulsa Aloft is one of 40 hotels that have opened across the globe since the brand was launched 18 months ago. Ten more are scheduled to open this year, and several more are planned or under construction including the Aloft in Oklahoma City’s Deep Deuce neighborhood.
The Oklahoma City Urban Renewal Agency recently approved the $18-million hotel, which will be developed by a local firm, New Century Investments. The Aloft will be part of the Maywood Park development, and construction is scheduled to begin next March, according to local sources.
