Nylo Hotels
NYLO Hotels LLC was an American boutique hotel chain. The company was founded in 2004 and was headquartered just outside Dallas in Carrollton, Texas. NYLO Hotels included five urban boutique hotel locations throughout the United States.  Each hotel was unique in its design and featured food from local businesses, event venues, along with various room sizes that were fashioned to resemble New York loft style apartments.

Company history
NYLO Hotels was founded in 2004 by a team of hotel executives led by Stephane Dupoux and Michael Mueller. Co-founder Michael Mueller served as CEO since 2011. Previously, Mueller was an executive with Starwood Capital Group and Starwood. Mueller oversaw the acquisition of Westin Hotels and Sheraton Hotels and Resorts and also helped engineer the W Hotels brand while he was with Starwood from 1994 until 2004 when he co-founded NYLO Hotels. Co-founder Stephane Dupoux, founder and CEO of Dupoux Design, led the creative team responsible for the identity, branding, architectural and interior design. 

NYLO stood for New York lofts in which the company modeled its hotels after. When the company first began operating after its founding, it was headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. At the end of 2007, NYLO opened its pioneering hotel in Plano, Texas, later followed by two more hotels in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. NYLO also has hotels in Rhode Island and New York City. The company remained based out of Atlanta until 2011 when it relocated to the Dallas area.

Features
The NYLO Hotel brand featured urban styled guestrooms which combined old buildings with modern design. The brand name, NYLO referred to the loft style apartments found throughout New York, but the company is focused on introducing designer hotels to secondary and tertiary markets. The company aimed its attention to providing designer style to mid-scale priced hotels that were business-travel-friendly.

NYLO Hotels was also focused on eco-friendly and energy-efficient operations. In 2012, the NYLO Dallas South Side location became one of 69 hotels in the United States to achieve LEED Gold certification. Other NYLO locations utilize eco-friendly initiatives such as wind power, recycled building materials, and energy-efficient light bulbs.
