Heading to the Tempe area this summer? If so — and you’re looking for a place to stay that’s stylish, not too pricey, and environmentally conscious — the ideal choice is Aloft, a new hotel that’s right near Sun Devil Stadium.
Haven’t heard of Aloft? It’s a new national hotel chain from the W folks. Each Aloft has got a bunch of the features you’d expect at a W — like a trendy bar and Bliss amenities — but it’s less expensive and a bit more casual. If you like your hotels dull and personality-free, this ain’t the place for you … this hotel is likely to make you smile every time you walk in the door.
The Tempe property, like all of Aloft’s hotels, has an extensive eco-friendly program in place, minimizing electric consumption, maximizing natural light and using sustainable materials whenever possible in its design. Of course these efforts are great for the environment … and they also help keep prices down too, which is great for your travel budget.
Speaking of money-savers that are eco-friendly, if you’re driving to Aloft, make sure to arrive behind the wheel of a hybrid. The hotel gives VIP parking spots to people that drive them — perhaps those initials stand for Very Intelligent People.
