We are excited about the growth of the brand,” he added.

Aloft growth in the continent is part of Starwood’s expansion strategy. The company already has 71 hotels in 10 countries in the region. Regional expansion started in December 2011 with the opening of Aloft Bogotá, Colombia, and three months later the company opened Aloft San José, in Costa Rica.
