The 162-key Aloft Tallahassee Downtown, designed by architect Lindsay Pope Brayfield & Associates, has been named by Starwood as the 2009 New Build of the Year Award winner in the select service category. Owned and managed by McKibbon Hotel Management, the property took home honors for efficient construction, timely opening, and outstanding performance. "The result is a hotel that is truly emblematic of the brand's jet-setting style, appealing to both savvy travelers and area professionals," says Denise Coll, president of Starwood’s North America division.
