Starwood Does Dallas :: Aloft Las Colinas Now Open, Plano on the Way

Where: 122 East John Carpenter Freeway [map], Irving, TX, United States, 75062

You may remember the Dallas 'hood Las Colinas if you're up on your pop culture references: many folks say LC was the inspiration (and at least the partial filming location) for the suburban corporate town in the 1999 oh-so-relateable movie Office Space.

Accordingly, Starwood has put an Aloft there: it's got lots of office space (hehe), plenty of casual dining chain restaurants in which the waitstaff dons suspenders accented with pieces of flair, and there are plenty of business travelers going in and outta there.

Today, Aloft Las Colinas is open. It's the first Texas location of the Aloft/Element family to get up and running, and (like a Las Colinas mustang) it has pulled ahead of the rest of the planned Dallas metro area properties. Aloft Plano debuts November 20th, Element Irving (pretty much in Las Colinas, actually) will open up on November 1st, and Aloft Frisco and Aloft Grapevine will be arriving a little later in the year.
