Aloft Harlem, New York - Urban Sophistication
As the first hotel to open in Harlem in over 45 years, Aloft Harlem has established itself as a beacon of urban-inspired style, offering a sassy and carefree experience. It serves as a vital gateway to the rich culture and vibrant energy of Upper Manhattan, redefining lodging in this historic and dynamic neighborhood. For those seeking an authentic slice of New York with a contemporary edge, this hotel presents a compelling option.
Location
Strategically situated at the corner of 124th Street and Frederick Douglas Boulevard, Aloft Harlem places guests at the heart of a neighborhood steeped in history and cultural significance, renowned for its jazz heritage and soul food. It offers convenient access to cultural touchstones like the Apollo Theater and Columbia University, both just a short distance away. While Central Park and Times Square are within easy reach, the immediate surroundings offer a distinct Harlem experience. For urban explorers, the City Bike share program is conveniently located a block away, and the 125th Street metro station is a mere 10-minute walk, providing swift connections to the rest of Manhattan. Personally, I find the proximity to the local rhythm of Harlem more rewarding than the well-trodden paths downtown.
Style and Character
Aloft Harlem embodies an urban-inspired aesthetic characterized by its sassy and carefree spirit. This bold new lodging alternative buzzes with the energy of discovery and interaction, creating an atmosphere that feels both modern and connected to its surroundings. The design emphasizes a sense of playful sophistication, offering a refreshing contrast to more traditional New York hotels. It's a space designed for those who appreciate a lively ambiance and a touch of irreverence.
Service and Facilities
The hotel provides a comprehensive suite of facilities to ensure a comfortable stay. Guests can maintain their fitness routines at the 24/7 gym, ensuring that workouts align with any schedule. For convenience, laundry facilities and a business center are available. Public areas offer complimentary wireless internet access, allowing guests to share their New York adventures without missing a beat. The hotel also features a theatre hall, and a car park is available for those arriving by vehicle. The W XYZ Bar serves as a lively hub, offering cocktails and light snacks, complementing the hotel's commitment to attentive service.
Rooms
Aloft Harlem's guestrooms are designed to enhance the comfort of their stylish surroundings. Each room welcomes guests with an ultra-comfortable signature bed and features an oversized spa shower, complemented by custom amenities by Bliss(R) Spa. Standard offerings include a flat-screen TV for entertainment, a work desk for productivity, and convenient tea and coffee-making facilities. Guests can tune into their favorite shows with in-room access to Netflix. Room categories include king-size guestrooms and double queen beds, spanning between 270 and 310 square feet, each providing a private bathroom equipped with a bath or shower. The Plug & Play connectivity station is a thoughtful touch, charging electronics and linking them to the 42-inch LCD TV.
Food and Drink
The W XYZ Bar serves as the hotel's primary social and culinary hub, offering a full-service experience with light snacks and 'heads-up dining' options. It's a place where guests can unwind with expertly crafted cocktails or enjoy casual fare. While specific restaurant details are limited, the bar's focus on sophisticated yet accessible offerings aligns with the hotel's overall modern and engaging atmosphere. It provides a convenient and enjoyable spot for refreshments and light bites throughout the day.
Value for Money
Aloft Harlem offers a solid value proposition for travelers seeking a contemporary stay in a historically rich part of New York City. The inclusion of 24/7 gym access, complimentary Wi-Fi in public areas, and well-equipped rooms with modern amenities like Netflix and Bliss(R) Spa products contribute to a satisfying experience. Given its unique position as a modern lodging in Harlem and its convenient location for exploring the Upper Manhattan, the rates generally reflect a fair exchange for the style, comfort, and access provided. It is particularly well-suited for those prioritizing an authentic neighborhood experience over a Midtown-centric stay.
Accessibility
While specific details on accessibility features such as adapted rooms or wheelchair access are not explicitly provided in the source material, the hotel's modern construction suggests a consideration for contemporary accessibility standards. Further inquiry directly with the hotel would be advisable for guests with specific accessibility requirements.
Family-Friendly
Information regarding family-specific services or amenities at Aloft Harlem is limited. However, the availability of rooms with double queen beds could accommodate families, and the general atmosphere of the hotel offers a comfortable base for exploring the city. Guests traveling with children might find the proximity to parks and the convenience of in-room entertainment like Netflix appealing.
“This property stands out for its immersion in Harlem's culture, making it a great base for exploring the neighborhood's landmarks and vibe. The hotel is suitable for business and families, complemented by social spaces and local art. I think it's a solid choice for those wanting to experience a unique side of the city.”
