Starwood's Aloft hotel opens in Rancho Cucamonga

You’re hip, you’re fun, you like your iPod and you like to feel at home even when you’re not.
If that’s you, Aloft hotels may be just the ticket.

Starwood’s newest brand opened its second Aloft hotel, this one in Rancho Cucamonga, off Interstate 10 at Haven Avenue, about three miles from Ontario Airport. The first opened earlier this month in Montreal. More are expected later this year, including hotels in Rogers, Arkansas; Chicago; Minneapolis; and Beijing.
Rates start at about $139 (with taxes, $152) for a room, which measures about 315 square feet, with a king bed (that’s the Montreal property pictured above, but Rancho is its duplicate). Visitors get a 42-inch, flat-screen TV and high-speed Internet access. Its lobby is designed to be a gathering place and includes the w xyz bar.

Of the hotel, Time magazine recently wrote, “The company that started the industry’s bedding wars is looking to define a new segment called ‘lifestyle’ hotels: chic, sociable and affordable.”

Info: (909) 484-2018, www.alofthotels.com. Address: 10480 4th St., Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730.
