Title: TulsaNow tour of Aloft Hotel Post by: Admin on April 03, 2013, 08:15:22 am TulsaNow will be offering tours of the recently-remodeled former City Hall building on April 11th, starting at 5pm. You will get to see the ins-and-outs of the new Downtown Aloft Hotel before it opens. These tours are open to the public, but reservations are required.
Reservations are on a first come, first served basis. Click here (http://tulsanow.org/index.php/aloft-tour/) to make your reservation. Title: Re: TulsaNow tour of Aloft Hotel Post by: RecycleMichael on April 03, 2013, 11:30:07 am I want to go on this tour. This family brought the Mayo hotel back to life after more than a decade of sitting dormant. Now they are building another hotel in another vacant building.
They are stepping up and spending millions to renovate this building and adding new restaurants at the same time. I thank them for doing it. The fact that tax dollars are being spent to open the street for access is irrelevant to me. The Fire department insists on it to make it a hotel.

Title: Re: TulsaNow tour of Aloft Hotel Post by: zstyles on April 04, 2013, 08:16:37 am I went on a tour a few weeks ago, I was very impressed. the rooms are one of a kind to Tulsa, great floor to ceiling windows, great layouts and I think the most "cool" factor will be the lobby, XYZ bar and pool...this is going to be another gem for downtown Tulsa and a boost to the image of our city.
Title: Re: TulsaNow tour of Aloft Hotel Post by: Red Arrow on April 04, 2013, 08:25:03 am great floor to ceiling windows, I am not fond of windows that go all the way down to the floor. I like the false sense of security that a bit of solid wall above the floor level gives. It's a lot like guard rails on a bridge. I've never hit one but a bridge with no side guards would be spooky.
