PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This hotel, adjacent to downtown Oklahoma City’s vibrant Bricktown area, brings contemporary design to the new mixed-use Maywood Park neighborhood. The 6-story hotel is walking distance to shops, restaurants, night clubs and bars, and offers convenient access to Cox Convention Center, AT&T Bricktown Ballpark, and the Chesapeake Energy Arena, home of the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder.
The new 140-room Aloft Hotel has an adjoining parking deck. The modern hotel offers 5,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, an outdoor pool, indoor spa and sauna, coffee shop, restaurant, and bar.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
- A European-inspired approach to energy conservation including innovative maintenance-free materials.
- To reduce the amount of power used in guest rooms when vacant, a room keycard must be inserted in a slot to energize the power to the room.
- The variable refrigerant flow system designed for the common spaces varies its output to the exact cooling/heating demands of the building at any time, increasing efficiency during partial load conditions and providing more precise temperature control. This system also allows for heat recovery between spaces located on the same outdoor unit by diverting exhaust heat from indoor units in cooling mode to areas requiring heating.
