The hotel hype on Starwood's newest hotel brands, Aloft and Element have been around for what seems like ever but yesterday we got a press release detailing that not just one but BOTH will open up in Spring 2008 on the same piece of land in Lexington, Mass. So if you hate your Aloft room can you exchange it for a room at Element?

For those of you who have no clue about New England, Lexington is located about 20 miles outside of Boston. According to an in-house expert on the area, the biggest reason you would ever visit Lexington is to appease your inner-Revolutionary War Buff as Lexington and neighboring Concord were the sites first engagement of the American Revolution.

We google-mapped the location above (notice the close proximity to the highway) and for your further edification we've included the official company descriptions of both brands after the jump.
