PITTSBURGH
Concord Hospitality Enterprises Company announced plans to open Pittsburgh's first AC Hotel by Marriott in the downtown Strip District. Construction is already underway on the 133-room hotel.
"Recent development in the Pittsburgh area has spiked interest from outside investors and contributed heavily to the revitalization of downtown," said Mark Laport, president and CEO of Concord Hospitality. "AC Smallman enriches Concord's vision to create irresistible places within vibrant communities.”
The new hotel project, which will be built next door to the restaurant Eleven and across the street from the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, will feature modern guest rooms; the AC Lounge, co-working space by day, hub of social buzz by night; AC Kitchen, with European-inspired breakfast; bartenders with local expertise; Wi-Fi everywhere; mobile check-in and check-out; and a 24-hour fitness center.
The project is being financed by S&T Bank and marks Concord's 19th hotel in the Pittsburgh market. There was no mention at this time of the amount of available on-site meeting space at the property.
