Aloft London Excel Hotel, London, England

I am really enjoying revisiting some old photos, I think its good for every photographer to do this once in a while as you often see photos differently compared to when you originally took the photo. I would never had thought I would edit this photo in this way but with a fresh set of eyes I did.

Anyway, this is the Aloft Hotel in the Docklands area of London, again another fabulous staircase, small but big in character. I just love the wood graining and the textures from it as well as the rendered wall, they really contrast each other as well as compliment each other.

I have done a couple of versions of this staircase but this if by far my favourite as the darker colour and slight underexposure really brings out the detail in the wood for all to enjoy.

Location Information
Aloft Hotels is a brand of hotels based in North America. Its parent company is Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, although it is referred to as "a vision of W Hotels". The concept was developed in 2005, with the first hotel opening at the Trudeau International Airport in Montreal in 2008. Aloft Hotels have since opened across North America and internationally. Most Aloft hotels are located in city centers or in close proximity to airports.

The brand is most notable for its modern architecture design style, with unique technical aspects and an atmosphere that encourages socialization.[1] Another characteristic of Aloft hotels is the naming of basic hotel amenities. For example, in each hotel, the swimming pool is referred to as "splash". The staff of Aloft Hotels use the same lingo, and may greet guests by saying "Aloha!".
