AC Hotels by Marriott has announced the opening of AC Hotel Chengdu North, which marks the lifestyle brand’s debut in Southwest China. Situated at the junction of Chengdu’s Jinniu District and Xindu District, the new hotel has been expertly refined and crafted to deliver The Perfectly Precise Hotel experience.
"The addition of the AC Hotels by Marriott brand to Chengdu underscores our dedication to expanding our global footprint, particularly in coveted leisure destinations like Chengdu,” said Matthew Boettcher, vice president of distinctive Select Brand Portfolio, Marriott International.
“Located in the heart of Jingniu District, AC Hotel by Marriott Chengdu will provide a seamless and comfortable experience, catering to the needs of both business and leisure travellers.”
AC Hotel Chengdu North is located in Phoenix Mountain Sports Park, a multi-functional commercial center integrating sports, art, business and entertainment. The new hotel is about 600 meters away from Jiudaoyan Subway Station, about 25 kilometres away from Chengdu East Railway Station, and about 36 kilometres away from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, providing travel convenience for business and leisure travellers alike.
The hotel's exterior architectural design is inspired by the world's intangible cultural heritage, "Sichuan Brocade". The changing curved surface is smooth and graceful, showing a unique weaving texture, echoing the modern, fashionable and sporty atmosphere of Phoenix Mountain Sports Park, creating a design-rich modern residence for guests.
The hotel features 240 well-appointed guest rooms and suites. Light-coloured wooden floors, textured fabrics, and modern furniture designs interpret the open, simple, harmonious and refined style of AC Hotels. All guest rooms are equipped with 55-inch high-definition LCD TVs, walk-in showers, free high-speed Wi-Fi and other facilities. Guests can also enjoy AC Hotel's signature lavender turndown service, which includes receiving lavender sachets in the lobby and ensuring a peaceful sleep in the carefully prepared floral fragrance.
The hotel features a series of multifunctional shared spaces. These include the all-day dining restaurant AC Kitchen, which serves Spanish-style dishes and local Chengdu specialties as breakfast; AC Lounge features an outdoor terrace, which is an ideal place for guests to enjoy alfresco dining, relax or work during the day. At night, it transforms into a lively bar, where guests can relax and enjoy local crafts, wines and cocktails, as well as AC Hotel's signature gin tonic.
The hotel houses a multifunctional space, including a 188-square-meter function room and a 50-square-meter boardroom, suitable for a wide range of social gatherings and business events. In addition, the hotel offers a 24-hour fitness centre with state-of-the-art equipment, allowing guests to maintain their exercise routine while on the road.
"We are delighted to welcome AC Hotel's debut in Chengdu, Sichuan. With practical comfort and balanced function, we look forward to welcoming guests to the AC Hotel Chengdu North with a design-driven lifestyle, delightful F&B experience of creative cocktails and the brand’s signature lavender turndown for a refreshing journey,” said Owen Wang, general manager of AC Hotel Chengdu North.
