Project Summary
Vision:
The Aloft Hotel project encompassed a total remodel and retrofitting of the historic Hacienda Hotel in Los Angeles. First impressions are important, and after landing at LAX International Airport around the corner, guests are welcomed by the glamour that is Los Angeles, with Hollywood lights shining in the distance. This ocean-close hotel is flanked by palm trees and accented with clean lines and an interior with vibrant flashes of color and a 1960’s retro feel, familiar to La La Land. Each floor’s curved white balcony doors, seen from on the face of the hotel, have been remodeled with the feel of luxury ocean liner. Inside, the design is sleek and modern, with a retro flair and the flooring follows suit. Colorful, bright, edgy, graphic and abstract are all words that describe the feel of the interior flooring styles. Ardex Feather finish, Armstrong vinyl composition tile, and several different custom Milliken carpets were installed in this 246 room hotel. Johnsonite base as well as Mats, Inc. walk off mats were also utilized to round off this unique design.
