AC Hotel by Marriot has opened its first Utah property in downtown Salt Lake City. The 164-room hotel was developed by a partnership of Dallas-based Woodbine Development Corp. and Provo-based PEG Development. The facility will be managed by In-Group Hospitality of Lehi.
AC Hotel Salt Lake City Downtown is part of an overall 2.5-acre development that includes 170 apartments and 16,000 square feet of retail.
“AC Hotels complements the spirit and culture of downtown Salt Lake City by providing a chic experience, exceptional beverage and food offerings, local art and culture, and a comfortable working and gathering space,” said Jared Steere, general manager of the new hotel. “This grand opening gives us the opportunity to take a moment and celebrate the culmination of the hard work and dedication of so many people who have helped breathe life into this beautiful hotel.”
The hotel offers a beverage and food program which features local vendors where possible, Steere said. The AC Lounge offers craft beers, wines and cocktails with a selection of small tapas-style plates. The hotel also features the AC Kitchen restaurant, which is open daily for breakfast. Additional amenities include a 24-hour fitness center and 1,276 square feet of meeting space.
“We are thrilled to welcome the new AC Hotel Salt Lake City Downtown and are always excited about new hotel development in our community,” said Scott Beck, president and CEO of Visit Salt Lake, “especially when the hotel brings a new fresh concept to our market. The AC is a perfect complement to the unique urbaneness of downtown Salt Lake.”
