MIAMI—Starwood is bringing its Aloft brand to Coral Gables as part of a mixed-use development. Set to open in January 2016, Aloft Coral Gables will be the eighth branded hotel in Florida.

Following the August 2013 opening of Aloft Miami-Brickell, Aloft Coral Gables is the second Aloft hotel project owned and managed by a joint venture between Sunview Companies and HES Group. It will offer 137 loft-like hotel rooms.

“We look forward to introducing Aloft to the Coral Gables community, where it will appeal to savvy, next gen travelers and area residents alike with its distinctive design, innovative music programs and active social scene,” says Brian McGuinness, senior vice president of Specialty Select Brands for Starwood. “Aloft continues its explosive growth, amid rising demand for the brand's innovation and style, in Florida and worldwide.”
