If voice activated hotel rooms, Apple Watch apps for checking in and out, and a robotic butler named Botlr tickle your imagination, then Aloft is for you. But beyond being tech savvy, they also have a commitment to a lifestyle that includes pool tables at every hotel, the WXYZ bar at every hotel, swimming 24/7, and events that include music, poetry and videos. And if you’re suddenly feeling overwhelmed by the au courant, don’t worry, they also specialize in old-fashioned virtues like comfort, service and hospitality—and they love dogs, too! So be sure to stay at an Aloft with your best buddy and enjoy a trip on the wild side. We guarantee you will never ever be bored.

Aloft is happy to welcome your dog, up to 40 pounds. Their pet-friendly arf (SM) program offers a special bed, bowl, and a doggie bag of delicious treats and toys, all complimentary to use during your stay. If your dog is larger than 40 pounds, please contact the hotel directly to see about a waiver.

If your pet is sensitive to noises and sounds, ask the front desk if you could get a room that is not near the lobby or any other popular guest area. A good night’s sleep is the best way to ensure your trip will be free of potentially unpleasant encounters due to irritability and crankiness (both human and canine).

Aloft, a Starwood brand, opened its first hotel in 2008 in Montreal and became one of the earlier examples of what would eventually become the “boutique” hotel market—up-scale, premium priced hotels that focus on innovation and lifestyle.
