A new Aloft hotel opened along the Coastal Highway in Ocean City, Maryland. The project is a partnership between Aloft Hotels, Blue Water Development and Real Hospitality. The 120-room hotel features a fitness center, two bay-facing event spaces, totaling 3,250 sq ft, as well as a 380 sq ft space for corporate meetings. “Aloft Hotels are different by design, aiming to give today’s modern, tech-savvy traveler an energized experience that includes everything they need and nothing that they don’t,” said Bridget Higgins, senior global brand director at Aloft Hotels. “We’re thrilled to be bringing this innovative concept to Ocean City, particularly as it is one of the first examples of our future-proofed design for Aloft Hotels worldwide.”
