Maya Hotels hold grand opening for NC Aloft hotel

Nearly six months after opening its doors, the Aloft Mooresville in Mooresville, North Carolina, made it official. Maya Hotels, led by co-founders J.D. Deva and Baldev Thakor, held its grand opening for the property on May 28.

Local officials, including Mayor Miles Atkins, Mayor Pro Tem Lisa Qualls, Commissioner Thurman Houston, and Commissioner Gary West, attended the event at the 128-room hotel that actually opened in December. There was live music and special cocktails at the hotel bar.


“Our first hotel in Mooresville was over 25 years ago and our belief in the potential of this area has not wavered since.  The Aloft Mooresville is our fifth hotel investment in this town, and we could not be more excited,” said Deva, CEO of Maya Hotels

The hotel provided 50 new jobs for the area.

“This celebration is the culmination of a very long and rewarding journey,” said Thakor, vice president. “We feel that this brand is a perfectly unique addition to Mooresville, offering an upscale venue for guests and members of the community to have fun and unwind.”
