TULUM, Mexico (December 9, 2020) – Aloft Tulum, a brand-new, boho-chic inspired hotel managed by Highgate Hotels, will open in February 2021. It will feature 140 loft-style guest rooms and suites, a variety of lively spaces for socialization and music including a signature Ático Rooftop Lounge & Bar, and the destination's only venue for corporate meetings. The Aloft Tulum will be the first Marriott International property to debut in Tulum, Quintana Roo.

“Tulum is currently having its moment as one of the hottest travel destinations. We look forward to turning up the heat with the addition of our Aloft Hotel and rooftop bar,” said Sergio Parra, Aloft Tulum general manager. “This will be the area's first internationally branded hotel, which is synonymous with outstanding service. Leisure and business travelers alike can enjoy an unplugged vacation, yet stay plugged in through the hotel's innovative technology and happening music scene.”   

Conveniently located between Tulum's desirable downtown district and white-sand beaches, Aloft Tulum will be as impressive as it is expressive. Next-gen travelers will enter the hotel's lobby to be greeted by urban art that is changed seasonally, modern furniture and floor-to-ceiling windows. While guest rooms will boast 10-foot high ceilings, plush platform beds and light airy décor infused with natural textiles to deliver the ultimate comfort. Each room will include complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, 55-inch LCD televisions, free signature coffee, Aloft custom toiletries from Bliss® Spa and walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads. 

For guests in search of a social scene, Aloft Tulum will offer several trendy spaces including its Ático Rooftop Bar & Lounge. At this soon to be hotspot, guests can take a dip in the infinity pool, experience local cuisine and sip on seasonal cocktails – all while marveling at unrivaled views of Tulum. Additionally, the hotel will be home to a Re:fuel by Aloft℠, filled with fresh grab-and-go options; Re:mix℠ lounge, the perfect place to mix, mingle and play a game of pool; and the W XYZ® bar where emerging artists and local bands will converge to provide exciting entertainment. 

Once in-person meetings can safely convene, Aloft Tulum will make doing business and hosting intimate events easy with three multi-functional meeting conference spaces, totaling 2,761 square feet. Meeting rooms can accommodate up to 240 people and will be equipped with the latest audiovisual technology, plasma screen televisions, and complimentary Wi-Fi. For guests' further convenience, the property will provide several high-tech touches including a Concierge tablet and a Mobile Key program for keyless entry into guests rooms.
