Marriott’s AC Brand Heads for Capital Region

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md.

Marriott’s third AC Hotels branded property in the U.S., The AC Hotel Washington, D.C. at National Harbor is set to open in March 2015. It will also be the first AC Hotel in the Northeast.

The 192-room property is designed with millennials in mind, with inspired social spaces and technology. Drawing from the runways and fashion houses of Milan, the AC Hotels brand features simple, clean and crisp lines, with a distinctly modern feel.

A signature element of the hotel includes its innovative beverage and food program within its AC Lounge. The experience will include craft beers, on-tap wines, handcrafted cocktails and a selection of small ‘tapas-style’ plates served by locally savvy bartenders. These beverage experts, states Marriott, will connect AC patrons to the pulse of D.C. with their insider tips and recommendations on the local area, acting as both a mixologist and innovative spin on a concierge.

The eight-story hotel will include outdoor terraces with views of the Potomac River; the AC Kitchen, serving a European-influenced daily breakfast; and the AC Library, offering a quiet area for guests to use while still being connected.

Additional amenities include a fitness center, 3,700 square feet of meeting space and complimentary Wi-Fi.

AC Hotel Washington, D.C. at National Harbor is one of more than 50 AC lifestyle hotels expected to open across the U.S. in the next few years. The brand’s first hotel debuted in New Orleans in November 2014.
