SCOTTSDALE, AZ, January 22, 2021 – AC Hotels by
Marriott®, the design-led lifestyle brand from Marriott International,
announced today the opening of the 165-room AC Hotel Scottsdale North, inviting travelers to
experience a stylish hotel adjacent to world-class shopping at Kierland Commons
and palm lined storefronts of the Scottsdale Quarter. Located in a desirable
shopping and entertainment district in Scottsdale, the anticipated new hotel
embodies AC Hotels’ brand promise of going beyond the conventions of travel to
create experiences that strike the perfect balance of details that guests want
and the services they need.
Developed by Host Hotels and Resorts and managed by OTO Development,
the hotel introduces purposeful, curated, and elevated style along with AC
Hotels’ signature beverage and food programming. Built by general contractor
DPR with architecture and interior design services by DLR Group, the design of
AC Hotels’ first hotel in Scottsdale draws from the surrounding desert
landscape offering reprieve from the sun and evoking the shadow of surrounding
mountains. Crisp white accents contrasting the dark architectural backdrop
creates a contemporary palette enhancing the European aesthetic of the AC Hotel
by Marriott brand. The project is striving for LEED Silver certification.
AC Hotel Scottsdale North takes shape with sophisticated and
clean-lined interiors offering a respite to the arid desert environment
outside. Inspired by the desert at night, the public space celebrates an active
and invigorated setting for guests to explore. Black wood tambour walls, and
dark chestnut millwork connects the design narrative inside out and reinforces
the native desert inspiration. Quality sourced art and timeless, modern
touches evoke the feeling of a well-curated gallery. Embracing AC Hotels’ focus
on harmonious design and tailored style, the hotel features minimalist guest
rooms that allow travelers to use the space in whatever way they see fit.
A signature offering of the brand includes an innovative
beverage and food program at the hotel’s AC Kitchen, where European-inspired
breakfast features signature butter croissants imported from France, artisan
cured meats, such as thinly sliced Italian Prosciutto from AC’s iconic Berkel
slicing machine, an international selection of cheeses, as well as yogurts and
cereals, seasonal fruits and local specialties.
The hotel’s AC Lounge® invites travelers and locals to enjoy
expertly crafted cocktails, local craft beers and wines, and a concise food
menu inspired by the tapas of Spain. Of particular note is the hotel’s
signature cocktail, the Scottsdale Spire, named for the iconic 125-foot steel
and glass spire originally designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Crafted with
vodka, dry vermouth and blue curacao, this specialty cocktail is topped with a
sugar “fire” float, creating an entertaining and delicious experience.
