Aloft to Open Hotel Inside Second Life

Posted by miuki as Second Life

This is way outdated I must say, but since the hotel isn’t exactly opened until September 2008. It is still new worth talking about.

In a gaming first Aloft Hotels is going to debut its new hotel online in Second Life before the actual bricks-and-mortar hotel opens in 2008.

In September, Second Life’s visitors will be able to enter an aloft hotel and interact with others as they get a sneak peek at the hotel before the first aloft opens its doors. Visitors can follow the development progress of building the 3-D virtual aloft hotel online via a companion weblog at virtualaloft.com. Each week the weblog will be updated with daily diary entries from the 3-D developers as they build the virtual hotel.

“The aloft brand is about providing an escape from the ordinary and reinventing everyday experiences,”

- said Brian McGuinness, Vice President of Aloft Brand Development. [ Click here to read more ]

I’d like to thank Andrew Peter, better known as APLINK, for somewhat inviting me to grace the event and take a glimpse at the memorial site. [ Click here to read more ]
