Aloft Tucson

Tucson


Tucson is surprisingly light on for stylish hotels. Aloft, near the university, isn't an indie property, but it is a slick operation catering to tech-minded, style-conscious travelers. Rooms and common areas pop with bright, spare, yet inviting decor, there's an on-site bar, and 24-hour grab 'n' go food is available beside the lobby.
