Then we <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/6/26/91014/9560/hotels/Sneak_Peek_Inside_The_First_Ever_Element_Hotel">scored some pics</a> of the first-ever <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/element%20hotels">Element</a>, which was set to open in Lexington, and we were excited all over again -- especially since it looked a lot more spacious and comfy than the Aloft <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/6/23/213622/966/hotels/Finally_The_Aloft_Hype_Ends_as_We_Go_Inside_Aloft_Rancho_Cucamonga">we visited</a> in the meantime.
