Harlem's hotel drought ends after 43 years
"The Aloft brand is known for being cutting-edge and innovative," Brian McGuinness says, "and as we looked at Harlem, and all the way back from when Hotel Theresa opened up in 1913, which was quite avant-garde at the time, we determined that Harlem was certainly the right place to launch the Aloft in New York City." The company's style and urban vibe can be seen in furniture selected for the seating area in the lobby. Bebeto Matthews, AP
