MIAMI—Marriott International, Inc. has revealed that the AC Hotel Miami Beach is expected to open in April on the 2900 block of Collins Ave.
The property, developed in partnership with Miami’s Robert Finvarb Companies, will be AC Hotels’ first property in South Florida following the lifestyle brand’s debut in New Orleans and its growing portfolio of over 50 hotels expected to open in the next few years.
“Mid Beach offers the perfect blend of culture, architecture and nightlife that embodies the urban soul of the AC Hotels brand,” said Toni Stoeckl, VP Lifestyle Brands of Marriott International, Inc. “We will create meaningful experiences for guests to connect with this exciting city through distinctive local partnerships with prominent personalities.”
The design-led hotel, inspired by the fashion houses of Milan, blends European style and simple lines to create a comfortable atmosphere for guests, according to the brand. Miami-based Kobi Karp Architecture will bring the vision to life, where guests can expect public spaces outfitted with furnishings and decor in a neutral tone color palette featuring grays and charcoals along with modern artifacts and treasures.
Additionally, AC Hotel Miami Beach’s distinctive F&B program will offer a twist on the traditional hotel bar. The AC Lounge experience will be influenced by the idea of “draft and craft,” where guests can work during the day and unwind in the evening with craft beers, wines and cocktails complemented with a selection of small “tapas-style” plates inspired by the brand’s Spanish roots. The AC Culturalist will share insider tips and recommendations.
Stoeckl added, “Guests can also expect the brand’s signature open-concept areas with plenty of communal spaces with fully enabled technology solutions to work, connect, explore and socialize.”
The seven-story hotel will include the AC Kitchen, inspired by the European home, which will be open daily for breakfast. The AC Library will provide a quiet area for guests to use while still being connected. Additional amenities include a fitness center and 270 sq. ft. of meeting space. On-site parking, complimentary WiFi, a rooftop pool and beach access round out the hotels offerings.
