The hotel will be aloft's first property in New Jersey, and will be in close proximity to the Philadelphia Convention Center, the Philadelphia International Airport and some of the top corporations in the state of New Jersey. The hotel is also just one hour from Newark International Airport.
"aloft is infused with the DNA of W to create a new destination sensation, conceived in response to a mega-mundane marketplace," said Ross Klein, President, Starwood Luxury Brand Group and aloft hotels.

The passion and excitement created by Starwood with the W product was overwhelming and we anticipate an even greater reaction with the aloft brand."
