Just in time for graduating students to take advantage, Aloft Hotels is bringing their hospitality expertise to traveling gap year students, along with new promotions and rates. However, Aloft Hotels embraces the idea all gap year travelers are not students, simply those who want to take time away to travel extensively.

 

“We always say that Aloft Hotels doesn’t appeal to one demographic, it appeals to those of a similar psychographic — those early adopter, perpetually curious travelers who want something different. These travelers are the ones taking time off to find themselves or in some cases, lose themselves in local cultures and experiences. They love staying with us on these journeys, and fortunately, because of our impressive footprint, gap year travelers can find us just about anywhere,” said Paige Francis, vice president of global marketing, Aloft Hotels.

 

The new promotional rate includes 40 percent savings on a second night for any two-day booking. Guests will also receive a complimentary copy of Gap to Great: A Parent’s Guide to Gap Year, written by Aloft’s gap year ambassador, Andrea Wien. The offer is available at all Aloft properties worldwide.

Where Can You Find the Mai Tai Mile?

Stay at Kona Village on the Big Island of Hawai’i and you may think your experience consists solely of private, residential-style luxury and perhaps the occasional fresh pineapple, but Rosewood Resort has something else a little special. More specifically, Kona Village has its very own Mai Tai Mile, where guests can find four unique and different takes on the Mai Tai. Each distinct drink is inspired by its setting and comes with its own story.
