Aloft Hotel Coming to Downtown Little Rock

Remember all that Main Street corridor news we shared with you recently? Well, we have more. 

Chi Hotel Group of Little Rock announced today (April 14) plans for an $18 million Aloft Hotel at the Boyle Building in downtown Little Rock. 

Plans for the hotel include a 3,500-SF upscale restaurant, 4,000-SF of meeting space, a ground floor coffee shop and a rooftop pool. Yes, a rooftop pool! The hotel, itself, will have 140 rooms.

The renovations are set to begin in about five months, and be completed in the first quarter of 2016. For more info on the plans, check out our sister publication’s story at Arkansas Business.

The Boyle Building, a 12-story structure at the corner of Main Street and Capitol Avenue, was built in 1909, and is yet another improvement in a long line of Main Street projects.

Jacob Chi, the hotel group’s managing partner, said he expects Aloft to be an epicenter for social activity on Main Street.

“We expect this to be a fantastic place for social events,” he said. “We have every confidence that this will be an exceptional property.”
