Offering a resort-style escape that sports urban-influenced design and modern architecture, Aloft Langkawi Pantai Tengah is a 208-room 4-star property that is conveniently located less than 10 minutes’ walk away from Pantai Cenang and around 20 minutes’ drive away from Langkawi International Airport. As Gaya Travel team members arrive at Aloft Langkawi Pantai Tengah’s open and airy lobby with ultra-high ceiling to regulate the area’s thermal comfort and bold colour palette, we can quickly identify the property’s statement-making persona and aspirations to stay true to the Aloft brand’s ‘Sassy, Savvy, Space’ tagline. Though the property does not carry additional facilities like spa, retail store, boutique, or fine-dining outlet, the property’s exuberance and fussfree disposition make up more than for what it lacks.
It is heartening to see that Aloft Pantai Tengah’s employees are young, fun, and embody the ‘different by design’ ethos. As part of its policy, the property ditches traditional uniforms or hairstyles and instead permits its staff to express their unique selves; dyed hair, piercings, and tattoos, including modest dressing are all accepted, as long as they personify the hotel’s vibrance, sassiness and efficiency.
