The Look of Aloft Tulum
Aloft Tulum is sleek with a Mexican twist. Upon entering the hotel, you’ll notice high ceilings with large windows that allow natural light to flood the lobby and common areas. Seating here is plentiful, with pops of jewel-toned colors from pillows, chairs, and stools. The same color scheme can be found throughout the hotel's restaurants, outdoor spaces, and guest rooms.
Each guest room is spacious, with crisp white linens covering a cozy bed. Picture windows allow travelers to see out to the city or jungle as they start their day. A small couch and table provide the perfect spot for coffee and breakfast. Meanwhile, the bathrooms are outfitted with ample counter space and under-sink storage. There’s also a large walk-in shower and plenty of towel hooks to hang wet towels and swimsuits after a day at the pool.

While the rooms are spacious and have everything you’ll need, the real gem of the hotel is the adults-only rooftop, where there’s a bar and lounge, along with an infinity pool that overlooks the jungle.
