New Aloft Dallas Love Field Hotel Offers Guests Relay Robot
On March 9, Atlantic Hotels Group (Atlantic), a Dallas-based hotel owner and operator together with Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. and Civitas Capital Group celebrated the grand opening of the dual-branded Aloft and Element Dallas Love Field hotel, located at 2333 West Mockingbird Lane. This is the first hotel opening near Dallas Love Field airport (DAL) since the Wright Amendment was repealed in 2014 and the first-ever dual-branded Aloft and Element hotel by Starwood Hotels.
The 224-room hotel shares 6,500 square feet of meeting space, an outdoor swimming pool and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Together, the brands will cater to both business and leisure sub-markets with trendy and eco-friendly offerings. Each brand shares one eight-story building with a common entry but separate ground-floor public areas and elevators.
Aloft Dallas Love Field offers 133 loft-like rooms with leading-edge design and accessible technologies. Amenities include banking, floral, laundry, hair and concierge services, children’s programming, child care, a one stop grab-and-go food and beverage area and a W XYZ® bar that will feature local emerging music artists as well as some of the hottest bands as part of Aloft’s popular Live at Aloft Hotels programming. Additionally, all guests will have access to a Relay robot from Savioke nicknamed BOTLR, a robotic butler that mainly assists with small deliveries such as towels, toiletries or even drinks from the bar. This is the first Relay robot in Texas.
Element Dallas Love Field features 91 studios with modular furniture, fully equipped kitchens and spa-inspired bathrooms. Amenities include free airport pick-up and drop-off, bike rental, and laundry, valet and travel services. In the mornings, guests are invited to a complimentary RISE breakfast, which offers fresh, healthy and convenient breakfast options. During the evening, guests can mingle at RELAX, the Element’s take on “happy hour” with a complimentary food and beverage pairing. Element is the first major hotel brand to mandate all properties pursue sustainable certifications and is recognized as an industry leader in the eco-space.
“The Aloft and Element brands offer unique amenities that will cater directly to the growing demands of travelers near the airport and the Medical District,” said Perry Molubhoy, Atlantic CEO. “Whether looking for eco-friendly lodging or a live music scene, guests will find all that they are looking for and more at this energetic dual-branded development at the heart of a bustling Dallas neighborhood.”
Aloft and Element Dallas Love Field was co-developed by Civitas and Atlantic and will be managed by Atlantic Hotels Management, an affiliate of Atlantic. Clark Contractors served as the general contractor and 5G Studios served as the architect. Third-party financing for the project was provided by American National Insurance Company. The project is the first of several joint hotel projects between Atlanticand Civitas within the DFW Metroplex. Four other developments to open this year in the DFW Metroplex include Residence Inn – Dallas Canyons in Oak Cliff, Element by Westin – Dallas East, and Springhill Suites and Home2Suites in McKinney.
