Plano to Be Home to a New, Hip Hotel

Plano will soon be home to a new lifestyle hotel brand from NYLO Hotels. Although aimed at business travelers, this hip new property (that will be withing walking distance of two major malls) will appeal to leisure travelers as well.

The 176-room Plano property will be located in Legacy, a 2,665-acre master-planned community and home to world-leading companies.

Allergy-Friendly Rooms

Here’s a neat feature in the new Plano hotel: allergy-friendly guestrooms from Pure Solutions North America.

NYLO is committed to having at least one Pure Floor, with all guestrooms incorporating the comprehensive purification system, in each of its branded properties. The Plano hotel will have 44 Pure Rooms.

Designed specifically for hotels, the Pure System cuts down on contaminants, irritants, molds, dust and odors. Following a seven-step purification process, each NYLO Pure Room will use a Class 2 medical-grade air purifier, hypoallergenic linens and covers, and other techniques to keep the air fresh and make hotel stays more pleasant for travelers.

NYLO’s stringent no-smoking policy aims to further improve indoor air quality. Smoking will be prohibited throughout the hotel, including all guestrooms, employee areas and public spaces. With smoking confined to comfortable, designated outdoor areas, the fee for smoking in a guestroom is set at a hefty $300.

Raising the Bar

NYLO hotels are designed by Stephane Dupoux, a prominent designer of restaurants and nightclubs around the globe. Dupoux’ plans for the high-energy public space called The Loft just off the lobby. The Loft will welcome locals and guests with soaring ceilings and open, expansive layout. The Loft will offer thoughtful amenities, including the 24/7 restaurant, bar, library, sofas, business center, wireless Internet, game room, boutique shop, and lighting and music that will change to create different atmosphere from day to night.

In the boutique shop and on its Web site, the design-driven hotel will offer consumers the Daniel Vosovic Collection for NYLO. This summer, the star of Bravo Television’s Emmy-nominated series “Project Runway, Season 2“, signed an agreement to design apparel for the new lifestyle brand. Daniel’s collection for NYLO will be for front-line staff, including bartenders, cashiers and front-desk personnel.

“We’re creating a style that’s hip and cool, with variations in accessories and color, that can mix and match to achieve different looks,” Daniel explains. “This project provides a great opportunity to work with people who really understand design.”

Prices: NYLO will offer nightly rates of $120 – $140.
